Bought this range rover about 4 weeks ago, after a week I noticed oil showing on the ground, had a look and could see oil weeping from one of the pipes going into the adapter on the gearbox, manual gearbox, anyway gave the nut a tweak and thought I’ll look at it again in a week, well 3 weeks on I was about to go shopping when I again noticed oil under the car, had another look oil all over everything under there, so got under there and yes coming from same place, I disconnected the pipes from the oil adapter on the gearbox, and found the top pipe had two o rings both damaged, replaced with one o ring and fitted pipe back in place, but no the pipe at the top still dripping oil out, out again o ring damaged, replaced same again oil dripping, took pipe out again new o ring more care fitting pipe try it no it still leaking, for ---- sake off again fitted another o ring carefully in but no the ------- thing still leaking, I am not a novice at these thing but this naffing thing has me baffled, I know the old owner had just put in a new clutch so he would have take the pipes out resently but why would it keep leaking, the pipes look the same circumference so it can’t be on it bigger than the other, top pipe looks fine, fit the o ring over the pipe end push in and tighten, couple of times the o ring has been pinched, any ideas why I could be having this trouble chaps
