Ms. Moxie,
Rovers are famous for oil leaking, not to be alarmed if only drops and not large puddles. You can place fresh sheet of cardboard under the vehicle to see where it drips from, then the detective work begins.
Because you have an older truck with almost no miles (117 when you got it?), you may still have some gaskets that leak. They will dry out driven or parked.
One place that is good for leaks and may have missed attention is the valve covers. They use an 8 mm 12 point "necked down" 3/8 or regular 1/4 inch socket, not always in every toolbox. Routine is to snug them up every oil change.
Other than that, how is the youngest Disco in America doing?
