Hi all I have just purchased a 1996 discovery 300tdi, i pulled up at home and found a small pool of oil under her at the front of the old girl, she has done 173451 miles. It appears to be atf oil leaking from the power steering pump area.
I have noticed it starts to make a whining noise after she starts to get warm and it gets slightly louder when she is up to temperature, she doesnt appear to be leaking heavily, nor dose the whine get any louder when turning from lock to lock.
I ran her on idle last night for 10 minutes and it doesnt appear to leak while running on idle but it was dark and I only had a small torch to inspect it, bou when you inspect her later there is a small pool of oil.
i checked the oil lastnight and this evening and visualy it dosent appear to have droped.
I intend to look at her better tomorrow if I get home from work in daylight.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time
