Help. I have a leak. It's leaked over the last 5 days to a warning on the dash. The reservoir is really low. I've located the dripping to the middle of the car, slightly towards the passenger side. It's about half a metre back from the front tyre, slightly towards the passenger side

. I have a tdv8 56.it's hard for you guys to tell me what's up without looking but it's there any one else who's had similar problems with theirs and what was it?

I've attached a pic of the pipe underneath that's wet. I originally thought you'd was the aircon. It's definitely not.

Thanks.

I would get the plenum chamber out and the engine cover off, and have a good look and wiggle of all the pipes at the rear of the engine, got to be somewhere there, the egr, oil and fuel cooler pipework is all in that area, behind the oil filter casing .

Cheers Joe. The plan is to tackle this tomorrow. Will keep you updated.

Drip underneath was aircon. I can't for the life of me see where this leak is. everywhere looks dry. there's no creamy texture anywhere. I don't think it's getting in too the head gasket.

Must be coming out under pressure at temperature then, and more or less evaporates as it exits. I had this on my TD6 - it was a leaking seal on a bleed screw.

FWIW you need to be looking back here:




Although from what you say, if the drip is the air con, then it could be anywhere .

Any idea which or

where

Looks like I have located the leak. There's a very small break in the flexi pipe connected to the reservoir. I have some new clips to replace the rusted ones. I will cut the pipe as a temporary measure but are these pipes easy enough to buy? Will it have to be a Land Rover job to order from? Also, any ideas on a price. TIA

Pictures attached below. I also gave the engine area a little TLC and a clean.

I would also check your thermostat housing, if you shine a torch down around the oil filter if its leaking you will see the orange/red residue. It never actually drips anywhere as it just dries out. Common TDV8 issue.

Thank you for the reply. I will have a check tomorrow. I aim on replacing that broken hose anyway as that will be causing some problems, especially when the engine is hot.
