As said a few drips are really not a problem, just don't leave a wading plug in for any extented length of time.
Am i missing a drain plug?

oil wont affect your clutch but obviously if oil loss is getting noticeable it will need looking at for engines sake

Mine weeps, just think of it as a built in rust protection system for your chassis!
Just keep an eye on it, do something about it when it's noticeably getting worse. Keep an eye on your oil level.
As a stopgap you can get some oil additives from motor factors that help slow weeping from seals. I dot use them, and am unconvinced but it might be worth a punt

Most tratterers have either got a screw loose or missing.Morning wise ones.
I've recently got my fist landy. Its a Defender 90 300TDi on an M plate. Its got the R380 gearbox (reverse down to the right). I was just having a detailed shifty underneath and spotted what looks like a missing drain plug. Can you guys help?
Cheers
Steve

Most Gaylanderers would love to screw a tratterer but they is far too manly for us..
Edited to reveal ya true feelings
The function that brings up similar titled threads is cracking - I had been searching for ages trying to find out the exact same piece of info as I had just panicked at the thought of a drain plug missing and everything seizing because the oil had all leaked out. Luckily found this thread and all is revealed.

This question usually pops up every couple of weeks.
OP, you need to check your oil level, bottom of engine looks to clean
