Funny you should say that Ryan , my old td6 had a heavy steering at low speed and the servotronic valve was replaced but it still felt like it could have been better but i got used to it...now on my new s/c the steering is worlds apart from the td6 , its very light at manoeuvring speeds ..its a shame your not nearer to me as you would be welcome to try mine. it could be just a coincidence and nothing to do with the oil leak but you never know....i would certainly take off the under tray as suggested to try and pin point the leak [if there is one that is] .. ... - .- -.

dripping fluids from the bottom of the engine is not a design feature, even for Land Rover!!

If you take the plastic panels off and clean them up it at least allows you to rule out previously spilt fluids that are sitting on top and making their way gradually downwards. You will then also be better able to identify if there is a leak anywhere. Given that you have a warranty I would be playing merry hell with the dealership to get this resolved to your satisfaction...

• Oil Leak - Engine - visible via discharge out of under tray holes. On closer inspection and stripping components, this was reportedly attributable to the front offside driveshaft seal which was replaced.

• Oil Leak - Front diff - diff was weeping/ had a teardrop type leak. Pinion seal. Replaced the actual front diff.

• Gearbox Sum Pan - Oil leak. Visible/ sump and surrounding areas looked wet. Replaced the actual gearbox sump and the sump seal which involves draining existing oil, replacing with new oil and new filter (this equates to a gearbox service. The new oil & filter should help to prolong gearbox life).

• Loose Undertray Bolts - Fixing threads were corroded/ stripped. They have been replaced.

Only the 3 leaks then ?

Might be an idea like I have just done & take a look around the filter housing at the top. Someone in my case had siliconned the bottom of the filter housing rather than replace the three "o" rings. I opted to replace the whole cooler assembly & it took about 8 hrs. My oil was running straight out the back of the V & gathering at the bottom of the gearbox. Mine is now sat back on the drive without the wife moaning about the mess!!
