Got under the 110 today after getting back from Tasmania on Sunday and found a few issues rear their heads again.

My two front wheel hub seals are spewing grease and oil again, both seals have been replaced once already. My transfer case is leaking oil, I have an oil leak around the turbo somewhere and all the bolts on my rear driveline have come lose and a rattle has developed when the revs are low in the gears.

Whats the chance of the oil leaks being an ongoing issue that just don't stop?

The car has just hit 22000km's.

Cheers

Who's doing the work. Hub seals if not fitted correctly will leak no matter how many times you change them.
Are you talking about where the tailshaft meets the diff. If so they should be nylocks and I always put new ones on if I have to remove tailshaft for whatever reason.
Oil leak around turbo could be the oil return pipe located at front of turbo. A new gasket will solve that. Transfer case is a matter of draining oil, remove sump, clean faces and put some gasket type silicone on and replace sump.
So if done all correctly, there shouldn't be any leaks for quite awhile.

The hub seals were replaced twice and continued to leak grease on 130
I was told the assbly had been machined incorrectly
The complete hub was changed out to solve the leak

Land Rover have been doing the work. The Newcastle dealership have been pretty good to deal with and generally I get to speak to the mechanic. They said they will need the car for 2 days to fix all the issues, so cross my fingers it will solve them this time.
