Disco 2 Oil leak and identifying the part

Hi (again),

I'm starting to wish I hadn't bought this particular Disco as I've only had it 3 weeks and so far have a growing list of issues, thankfully most are (finally) being sorted by the dealer I bought it from and the local 4x4 garage.

However, I've just noticed an oil leak (see image showing leak onto cardboard that I placed under the car). Oil only seems to leak when the car has been running - it was left for 48hrs earlier in the week and no oil was present on the cardboard, only today when I had run the car for 20 mins or so.

So, first question is.... (and apologies for this one as I really don't have any mechanical experience, especially not with land rovers!)
What is that part that the oil is leaking from?!

2nd question, what are the likely fixes to this and how serious is it likely to be?

I've done a bit of googling on the subject but as I don't really know the specific part I'm struggling with what to search for!

It's booked into the garage for new radiator, shocks and tracking rod next week so I'll add this to the list for them to look at but would like, if nothing else, to be able to give some specifics so apologies for the very amateur question(s), any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Simon
Hi
I had exactly the same oil leak like you. I have changed the camshaft seal and the intake manifold gasket, issue solved!
