Most likely the screw in welsh plug behind the exhaust manifold , but check the hose at the back of the oil cooler housing as well
The welsh plug is tucked behind the exhaust manifold between cylinders 3 & 4.

The hose Discorevy mentioned is the short one in this photo. But in my case it was the welsh plug leaking.

I’ll check it out when I get the time again . Cheers Kelvo.
Here’s to hoping the green stuff is at least ethylene glycol based
There is a hose under the turbo that will give you coolant in those places if leaking - a mirror can be used to see it.
TD5 should have red OAT coolant not green - I would be flushing the coolant system and replacing with the correct OAT fluid.
is that technical for OAT??
because oat is what you need for dissimlar metals,, red oat, blue oat, hybrid oat,
old fashioned green is fine for the V8, LR used oat as it has a long service interval, gets rid of the problem of disposing of dead coolant at service centres, same reason as "filled for life" gearboxes.
unfortunatly the old V8 was never built well enough to go the 5 years of the coolant service life

Cheers Guys, yeahhh... I have a TD5 . Never been one to differ from the manual (they made the car, they know best)
Ironically the previous owners last three services have all had the green stuff toped up/put in, along with a new radiator.
According to google, a few have actually switched their coolants around completely (eg. Red to Green). Wouldn’t know pros and cons as I’m just not that clever.
Forget Google,, AULRO is the BEST source of info for these cars on the Planet...
go on... argue,, I dares ya!
only short term owners/tightarses/idiots run anything other than oat in a td5.
its just basic chemistry...
[and I am NO fan of red oat...]
