    300 TDI oil leak

    Has anyone had a 300tdi that only leaks oil from the flywheel housing when stopped? Have a Disco with an EDC engine which has just had a rebuild
    and it is leaking out the wading plug but only when stopped. I had it running for 1/2 hr and nothing but as soon as it was stopped it started dripping enough to leave puddles. Thoughts?

    Rear main?
    Back to shop who rebuilt it if so.
    Definitely coming from inside the housing?

    I rebuilt it myself, the biggest thing is taking the engine out I am pretty sure that the design engineers had a chip on their shoulder with anyone who has to fix landrover's. But
    what doesn't make sense is the leaking only when stopped.

    If it's running out of the rear main seal, could be getting thrown off the flywheel, then dripping out after it runs down to the bottom of the bell housing.
