Hey guys, I need some help.
I have a 1988 LR Classic. It's had some work done to it . But it's leaking oil, I think. I just had my timing chain changed and all my oils and fluids changed. After I am leaking some sort of oil, I believe its engine oil. It's from the front of the vehicle. It's a bit much for comfort but I check all my fluid religiously and they don't change? Any ideas???

 

Welcome to The Nut House!


"It's had some work done to it"........ When? What color is the fluid? Can you post a pic of the bottom front of the engine (the last pic was NO help )?

 

It had work done about 1-2 weeks ago. The fluid is brown I think. I have a color defincicy. I will take a picture here in a bit of the under part of engine, as well as the fluid it's dripping

 

Here are a few picture from under neath

 

Check your power steering fluid

 

I think I'm with you Army, it looks like a high leak (PS pump or lines). Only one issue is the PS fluid in a '88 RRC should (key word "should") be ATF (red color). But man that's one wet Rover.

Patriotwac5 can you post some pics (in focus please) from the top?

 

That was a good way to put it. I almost said take pictures when not having a seizure

It really depends old fluid can get contaminated, wrong stuff can get added and we are looking at fluid that has run all over the place.

 

There isn't fluid all over the place, it's a steady drip. But only after I drive. It's coming from where I was at under the car. I keep mine lubed since my mechanic asked me to.

 

get a white paper towel and let a few drips hit it take a picture of it and post it

 

The front/bottom if that engine is wet because the oil is being flung by the pulleys! The "steady drip" is the end result. Pictures help that's why we asked. And then we still only get 50% worth if useful pics.

So, you either have a leak at the PS pump or the Oil Pressure Switch(you did put an oring in there right), or the Crankshaft Seal is leaking. You replaced the crankshaft seal when you did the timing chain right?
Army this one is all yours...Good Luck.
