Looking for some advice from some people that might have come across this issue before.

Whilst under it the other day removing the old sidesteps, i noticed it was quite wet around the bottom of the bell housing between the gearbox and engine.

I removed the plate under the gearbox to check it wasnt coming from there and that was completely dry as i had the gearbox megaflused a couple of months back so this leak is relatively new.

A look further up the bellhousing towards the top of the engine also shows that to be dry with no signs of oil so it seems confined to the bottom. Perhaps that isnt the oil cooler leaking then?

Heres a couple of pics for reference and any advice is most welcome:

Very common

This leak is normally the o-rings on the oil feed pipes at the top back of the engine bay. They drip oil onto the bell housing which is directly below.

It's a simple and cheap fix and can be done on a driveway in an hour or two, although it is quite a cramped location.

To confirm or deny, remove the pollen filter box and then you'll need a mirror, a phone camera or an endoscope, as you can't directly see the offending part. At the top back of the engine are two steel oil feed hoses screwed on with a nut each. If you see oil around here, this is the cause. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Thanks for the replies chaps.

I had a problem last week where the car went into restricted performance after some spirited driving and found one of the intake pipes had sprung a leak.

Ive all that dismantled at the moment and found quite a leak from the front intake butterfly area too with quite a bit of gunge building up under it.

This was probably a blessing in disguise as ive also found that pipe leaking at the back of the oil cooler.

Ive ordered the parts and the bits to repair the top radiator pipe which snapped on me too.

The question i have is does that oil feed pipe loosen and pull backwards towards the cab area and i just replace the 2 seals in situ? L322 / 2010 / 4.4 TDV8
