Thread: Lot's of Leaks - Engine & Transfer Case

They arn't oil leaks, they are Land Rover anti rust devices

When you drop the sump run a bead of sealant along the block to timing case and rear main holder(4 spots).
Good chance to check the oil pump bolt too.

Also check your rocker cover gasket, the rear 1/2 moon may be weaping doen the rear of the motor.

I doubt the timing case is leaking, but it is possible.
Check the harmonic seal and both oil lines for the vachume pump.


I recently did my transfer box leaks, these thread may help..
D2, LT230SE transfer box remove/fit hints please.

If you replace any bearing you'll have do the preloads too.
Mine where fine so just did the seals and thrust washers.

Cheers, Kyle.

If it's leaking between the gearbox and transfer on the shaft oring you'll need to check the casing as they tend to flog out. Can be fixed by having it machined and an insert fitted.

I have just done the 200 000k service and I had to put in a lot more oil in the transfer case than I drained and now note that there is a little puddle on the garage floor under the transfer and a healthy weep of oil looking at the transfer box. If the problem is the shaft having flogged out the case (from what I am told a common problem) will it last another 10 000 with appropriate top ups or do they do a total fail? Reason for question is now less than one month to my Simpson trip!
