As Monty Python said "You lucky, lucky bastard"
Could have been rather expensive. Make sure you report to Land Rover Australia. They will no doubt have their heads where the sun dont shine, but at least they can be made aware of how common this problem is.
Could have been rather expensive had you not checked.

Just remember after a few days to recheck the tension on the bolts as the gasket may compress a minute amount.
