Hello, I have discovery II 2003 and it starts leaking oil when I removed the top part. I noticed this. Does anyone know what might have caused this? Bad product or something else?? Basically, the Gasket, Intake Manifold Valley is bent somehow??
Thanks

 

Can't see the pic but I am guessing you have a plugged valve cover baffle and the crankcase pressure is building up as a result. Do the PCV mod and replace the valley gasket.

 

There is supposed to be a dab of sealant in the (4) notches between the cylinder heads and engine block before fitting the lower intake manifold gasket. If the engine had been opened before, previous mechanic may not have done this step when fitting the gasket last? Not sure where the oil leaks are at from your description. If you have pictures, that'd help us to narrow down your issue.

 

Thank you for the reply: The oil was leaking from the Gasket ERR7283, Valley End Seal. Sorry, I am not a mechanic
Where is the " plugged valve cover baffl" can you send me a picture. Sorry, I am not a mechanic. Picture would be helpful.
Thank you all again.

Looks like Extinct may be right. Definitely looks like crankcase overpressure. Check the valve cover breathers to see if they're clogged. If so, I recommend removing the valve covers to pull out the breathers. There's a good chance that they'll break apart because they're plastic and old, hence why I recommend removing the valve covers so that the bits and pieces don't fall onto your valvetrain. While you got things apart, replace the valve cover gaskets with new ones and get the PCV mod by Best4x4 done: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...v-88424/page4/
