    Exclamation TD5 engine oil leak

    Hi guys,
    I've noticed a leak in my disco coming from the engine.
    2 days ago I've cleaned up the area and now I can see better the leak but I can't understand if that is from the sump or whatever is over it...
    Can you help me ?
    Here is the pic...
    Cheeeeers guys

    Oil can be travel far from its source, by the air pressure of normal travel. First up, pressure clean, or better steam clean the entire engine. Then have another look. I was having oil from the sump gasket back to the transfer case. Turns out it was the two bolt flange under the power steering pump. Bob

    Hard to say without running an eye over it but common leak from that area is an O ring where the rotor filter housing bolts to the oil cooler.

    At the least, a garden sprayer filled with de greaser, then garden hose off, Bob

    Isn't it dangerous or "unhealty" for the electrical of the car?

    No more dangerous than oil leaks,
    If you have compressed air you can blow out the connectors after
    Otherwise buy a can of brake cleaner and remove the oil with that
