Default Fluid leakage underenath the engine.

2012 LR2 / 6 cylinder. I don't see any leaks​​​​​​ on the ground but it seems it's coming from the rubber hose (yellow arrow). Am I correct? The backgound is the oil pan.
Thanks for any insights,

What is the fluid? Engine oil? Coolant?

Could be the hose to the oil cooler. But a word of warning, when one hose fails, it might also be a sign that other hoses are going the same way. Check all hoses to see if they are getting soft. I had to change ALL my cooling and oil hoses on my 2008.

It has 147K miles, I'll check if the hoses are still pliable, otherwise I'll change it. Thanks for the reply

Hello flybd5 and others,
I ordered the hose to the oil cooler.
Upon installing, do I need do it after an oil change or I can do it anytime when the car is not running? I'm thinking if I pull the hose out, the engine oil might start to spill

RTFM. The Service Manual is your friend. You will find the link to download it here, just search for "service manual."
