what year is it ?, if it has the lt77 gearbox the gears can go stiff when the oil needs changing.

If "drain plug" at front of bell housing its wadding plug hole. If oil dripping there then seal is going on gearbox, ergo box out &new seal in. Oil fill on my disco 1 is 13mm square plug just over half way up box on drivers side. for level take plug out and fill tell it drips.(tqf not ep80)

Or if its the wading plug on the bell housing it could be the back seal behind the flywheel of the engine...engine out job
