Coolant leak drivers side
My daughter recently got a 2003 Land Rover Discovery II. I pulled the oil pan and replaced the gasket because it was leaking oil bad. That did not fix the oil leak! So I am back at square one with that.
Test drove it after getting it all put back together and new oil in. The coolant reservoir split at the seam! Ordered a new one and got it replaced.
NOW...... coolant is leaking a steady drip after she drove home from school. It is coming from the drivers side. Can't see any issue from the too and can’t see well enough to see where it is coming from, from down below. Any thoughts?

Welcome!
Sounds like you are well on your way to fixing all the deferred maintenance!
This one sounds a lot like the throttle body heater... Located just above the drivers side valve cover...
Could also be the radiator on the top drivers side corner, a lot of times people use the wrong screw on the plastic cover and that pierces a small hole. Evidence will be obvious as it drains down the driers side of the radiator core frame.
Or else you have a head gasket leak.
Best of luck!!!

90 % of the time the cause for the coolant tank splitting at the seam is system overpressure, system overpressure is caused by a blown HG. That is also causing your other leaks due to overpressure. Overpressure will blow gaskets, split radiator tanks, burst hoses, and blow off them off hose fittings. Once saw one on the side of the road that the thermostat housing hose nipple came off with hose and clamp still attached. Weak point will give. Run your new coolant tank cap one turn loose and your leaks should slow down.
