I recently spotted oil round the front of the AT sump and feared another cracked sump, but it was engine oil seeping down from the cam covers. Will be fixing this week and will confirm.

Not an easy question to answer I'm afraid... There are many many areas above there that can leak and drip down, many more in front that can leak and spray over there when the car is in motion! So, could be as simple as seepage from the drain (small problem) to a major leak up front masked by the sump protectors being thrown back to the gearbox...

The sealing sleeve for the Mechatronic unit electrical connector is a very common site for fluid leaks on the 6HP26

Can these simply be replaced Phil? Does the fluid need draining first? Are they a LR part? |

Thanks chaps, I'd read about the sleeve causing problems, I'll get the garage to have a look see. |

Yes, unfortunately the fluid has to be drained and the sump pan/filter removed to provide access to the retention clip
The Land Rover part number for the sleeve (including its three seals) is TZV500010 and it costs under a tenner. Phil Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Last edited by RRPhil on 4th May 2014 10:33pm. Edited 1 time in total |

When I had my gearbox oil and sump changed I did the sleeve as part of the service - for the cost of £10 it's a no brainer....... Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather..... |
