hi i have a disco td5 2002 only had it a couple of days. It developed an oil leak at the rear of the engine on the drivers side now today it takes ages to start but runs fine once started. but still takes ages to start hot or cold. Any one have any experience of this thanks.

If there is an oil leak (not a fuel leak as well supposed by the previous replyers) it has nothing to do with the starting. First of all replace the fuel filter then listen in the boot if the fuel pump is whining or not...then we'll see.
