Hey guys,
So I've had my Discovery (2000 td5) about 3 months now and loving every minute of it.
I've almost finished running through the service list (oils, filters etc) to get a baseline and then I can keep on top of it.
The only problems I've experienced so far have been a dodgy fuel water sensor (fixed with a new sensor, i know its not really required, but I like things to work!) and a slight 'oil' leak.
The place where I park it on the drive has had an ever increasing puddle of oil, so I think now the time has come to try and tackle it.
I say oil leak, but I've read threads that make it seem like it could also possibly be fuel leaking. The engine oil level also doesnt appear to have dropped any since changing it 3 months ago.
I've taken a couple of photos the best I can in the small amount of space.
Looking up from underneath the engine on the passenger side

Same view, but drivers side.

As you can see its dripping down both sides of the engine and looks like its coming from near the rear of the rocker/camshaft cover.
Has anyone seen this before? Could it just need this gasket replacing?
Its hard to feel down the rear with the plastic cover in the way.
Is there a list of most common leaks anywhere?
Thanks guys,
Kane
