as stated many time above you need a cooling pressure tester, for coolant in the front check the timing case cover it is a very common leak on these. Sometime it will spray up under pressure and spray up around the ac compressor.

Gasket - Front Cover (Part # ERR7280) - Land Rover gaskets and seals from Atlantic British is the front cover gasket ($9), you'll see that is "slim" in most areas. Pix of where the water comes from, the output channels that lead from water pump into the block. Water pump has a separate gasket, and is much easier to change than the front cover gasket.

If going into the front cover, there is a kit for about $114 that also includes a new oil pump. And you should eval the timing chain while it is open. If you need to go that route.

This skinny gasket can also leak coolant into the oil, and it is not good at all for bearings.

I cleaned the engine with some Gunk... and tightened the valve covers. Both sides needed tightening and this seems to have solved the oil leak. The coolant is probably still leaking but it must be a slow leak because it hasnt produced much in the last week.

As for where the coolant seems to be coming from... i think its in the area of the AC compressor. That is it appears to be coming from the front drivers side corner of the engine .

Thanks for the tips everyone!
