Default My Landrover 90 leaking oil is it normal?? PLEASE HELP!! Photos included!

Hi guys! I have a land rover 90 2.5tdi engine LT77 gearbox just bought it 2 months ago and recently I have changed all the oils like front and rear diff oils, Gearbox oil, Transfer case oil, Engine oil, Filters, Fuel filter, belts etc etc.. Before the service I have noticed a few drops on the ground but I've heard that on land rovers is normal oil dripping so i didn't care much. So after the service I still have these oil leaks including transfer case box and front differential and a bit under power steering box.. Are these normal on land rovers? I have posted some photos for better ideas.. And another issue I'm worrying about is the 2nd gear crunches a bit while engaging from 1st to 2nd, Sometimes it shifts smoothly and sometimes doesn't but when you engage it slowly (from 1st to 2nd) it shifts smoothly with no crunches at all is this normal?

Thanks Guyz! Waiting from your responses soon!!

No oil leak is "normal" but all are common.

What oil do you have in the LT77?

hi jafir thanks for replying.. Well in my LT 77 I have used ATF Dextron III and for the transfer box I have used 85w/90 Gear oil. What do you mean by No oil leak is normal? Did not understand you sorry

You might try type F instead of dexron or maybe even some sort of MTF. Most likely is just getting time for a rebuild of the transmission.

And nothing should leak oil. It's not normal. But it is common, it happens a lot.

All my rovers have leaked something. Generally I'm worried when they don't leak. My Disco doesn't leak much of anything and I'm scared. My 110 leaks everything I think but coolant.

Just make sure to check your fluids regularly and as projects come up fix the leaks.
