Thread: oil leak 2001 v6 freelander

Hori
Yank the wheel off and look into the engine bay from the wheel arch side, (in your case the driver's side.)
There's not a lot of room what with the under belly tray and side splash skirts, but you can see it with a lamp.

You will see the tube inserted into the sump (pan) extension near the cooler. This may also be the leak point and /or hoses??? All close -"ish" to the subframe rail.
Remember if you get to pull it (dipstick tube) out you will get a loss of oil, so a catch tray is essential unless you want to be mopping up the lost oil!

Remember safety and jack stand is essential if you are going to slither/bend under the car to work.
The tube attachment is an insert, if leaking I would have the parts on hand for a quick repair.
Best of luck
Cheers Dennis
