Hi guys, this is my first post as an owner so go easy if I ask anything stupid. I've tried searching for the answer to my problems on the forum but no luck. Anyway, I've just bought a 200tdi defender and it's leaking a fair bit of oil. I tried having a look today and it seems like it's maybe coming from around the sump gasket or the turbo return pipe which I hear is a common fault. Whilst I was looking I noticed two holes which I think are threaded and I was wondering if they were maybe supposed to have plugs in them.
This one is between the sump and the pulley at the front of the engine:
And the other one is in the middle of the gearbox:
Cheers for any responses and sorry if i've asked any stupid questions!
