Oil and coolant leak

Rsturbo · Feb 13, 2023

Hi guys so as the title says I have some leaks. Where and what are the likely culprits. So the coolant looks to be leaking from behind the left engine mount from a core plug ( looking at the engine from the front) oil wise. There is a lot on the front of the engine look like it's mid way up past the crank seal.

Any help thanks

Hi, to check for any leaks?! Your going to have to clean the engine and surrounding areas? As if you have oil/coolant run off! You could be looking for that needle?!?!? Forever!

I was thinking that as there is a lot of oil on the front. What's the best way to clean it??

I used a good 'De-greaser' and power washer to clean mine (just be careful with power washer (I.e. not to close))
Ones done! Give it a dry down with a lightly 'Clean oiled' rag! Take it for an half hour run around the 'Block' then inspect it for dirty oil leaks!?

Brake cleaner to clean the oil leak, dont do it on your driveway!
Which discovery model is it?
