I think that I have a lemon 110 Defender.

I have repeatedly backed the vehicle out of the driveway to see what has leaked onto the concrete where it's usually parked.

Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Maybe we got a bad batch tombraider........

Patience - it is not a mattter of if it will start leaking - it is just a matter of when

Given the feedback, maybe I should see if there's actually any oil in it at all 8O

My disco leaks oil from the transfer case, i have been told its because of a 20c o-ring somewhere on top of the case itself. So i put up with it. A small price to pay for being able to go further off road. Land Rover engineered the oil leak in for two reasons. 1) As a rust prevention system, it appears to have worked, 70% ever built are still on the road. 2) to give toyo and nissan drivers something to make them feel better about not being smart enough to buy one.

Mt transfer leaks but from the rear output shaft. I have replaced it already so just put up with it. Might help me get back home oneday when I get lost

All the threads are all well and good but why don't lawnmowers leak oil?

Because they don't require an anti rust system :roll:
