    Nightmare

    So after spending a couple of weekends fitting a Bull Bari have a few problems.....Shakes head in Disbelief


    Running the engining and a I notice a puddle of oil........I should say a river of oil

    Stop the engine bloody quick..... Pull guards of whilst laying in said oil, Looking for the source well its from the front (towards the Left side I think) of the engine pouring out whilst running

    Nightmare

    Hmmmmm could be gearbox oil also from the cooler but smell / colour will determine that or engine oil.

    If the front crank oil seal pops out the oil pump oil will come out fast. I’d have my money on that as not many other sources except a poorly fitted oil filter oozing from the top.

    Oil is like blood a tiny amount looks bad.

    You’ll need to take a few covers off and the shroud around the radiator fan.

    That’s a bummer.
    The oil seal failed in our D3 and a lot of oil came out.
    Hopefully no engine damage done, as it sounds like you caught it in time.
    best wishes

    Front crank seal?? I'd get a mate to tow me rather than find out the hard expensive way. Doesn't sound like a item I would try fixing in the bush. Replacement engine in my D3 was NOT my favorite topic. Hope its cheap and easy for you.

    Yes only genuine pump.

    You need a LR tool for inserting the seal onto the shaft or buy the Victor Reinz seal from AF which has an insert tool. You then have to drive it in to the pump. I think the later pumps the seal goes in till it stops 1mm recessed.

    You don’t need to replace the oil pump unless you want to but it’s a good time to replace the timing belt if that’s needed.

    Not much history on disco my thoughts are whilst in there might as well change the pump belt and the coolant crossover

    New oil pump comes with a seal inserter tool I thought so it’s a win win? I might be wrong.
