Hoping someone can help me out here. I have a 2006 LR3 with the 4.4 v8 and I noticed oil dropping from the front left (passenger side) of the engine skid plate. It looks and smells like engine oil.

I removed it, cleaned everything up as much as I could. Then I added some UV leakiest dye to the engine oil. From what I can see, oil is weeping down the left rear of the sump. I see no evidence of a leak from the top or front. From the oil cooler either. I have no idea where this could be coming from.

This is hard to make out but oil is pooling on the bottom of the sump and you can see a trace line where the oil has leaked down the sump.


here I marked where I see the oil. No idea what this bracket is and what's above here?
