Disco 1 leaks
Hi and welcome to D1 ownership. Most oil leaks are easy to fix but by design they will leak again if you keep the car long enough.
Oil cooler lines are major culprits, clean and check if it is cooler lines just replace with new. Rear mains seal and engine sump also leak, a good mechanic can do the rear main without to much $$. Swivel hubs are another nasty, some do there own but its a crap job so that is done by my mechanic. Transfer case is a remove and reseal if its bad, keep an eye on levels, the fill plug is on the rear half way up behind the flexible hand brake cable, half inch drive same as diffs.
They all seep so don't worry to much as long as its not pouring out. I certainly wouldn't be adding additives to fix leaks if you plan keeping the car long term but that's just my opinion
