Fluid leak
 
Bought a 2002 disco six months ago, ( love it) but it has a slight leak somewhere. I add coolant about every two to three weeks. Any ideas? I can smell it but can't see it and the temp guage doesn't go up.

Did you check the two small hoses going to the throttle body heater plate?

mine leaked there too on the throttle body heater just buy the gasket for 2$ don't buy the kit it felt like a waste of money. be careful of the vacuum tubing i don't know what kind of plastic they made it from but its brittle really brittle

If it is not the heater plate, then do a coolant pressure test to find and fix the leak. Let us know what you find.

1)Worst case is head gasket is starting to go.
2)throttle body heater is common
3)I had a small leak from one of the screws on top of the radiator. It's under the plastic cover so it's hard to notice. Here is a picture.
