    oil over alternator..

    Hi all, the alternator went on my 02 Td5 Disco last week. No biggy, with the help from this site replaced with the fan still in place and bingo 14.6v at the battery.
    Now.... I seem to have oil on the back of the alternator and not sure where it could be coming from. Before I start pulling bits and pieces off just after a few ideas what it could be. I double checked the oil feed and all other connections when I installed the alternator. Cheers Brett

    Brand new alternator, just wondering what oil lines are on that side of the motor.

    It's most probably from the camshaft plug on the front of the motor.

    Regards Philip A
