Default 04 Disco coolant leak

Hey guys attached a few pics. Where is my leak? Safe to drive when I watch the levels?

Looks to be in the area of your coolant expansion tank. Could be the tank, could be a hose, could be a loose csp or a blown head gasket.

I would figure out the problem instead of driving and topping off. I'm weird though I hate pulling motors to replace them.

AR is right, retake this pic over the top and sides of the coolant expansion tank. Even in that pic you can see the leak (white res) came from the tank, cap, etc as AR mentioned.
Should you drive it until it's fixed...NO! And when you do get it fixed please get the Dexcool out of this poor thing. Good Luck!

I say it's a cracked nipple at the bottom of the tank or the tank itself. New one on Ebay is around 40-50.00.

Looks like it's either leaking between the jug & the neck, or from the hose connected to the neck or from the aftermarket cap itself. I'd replace the jug, and while your at it convert over to the green coolant vs that red stuff that does not do so well in LR V8's.
