hi, just wondered if any1 got any ideas about my oil leak which as been repaired 4 times already only to come back to haunt me only a couple of hours from me getting it back from garage.
Aparently several gaskets have been changed on about 3 or 4 different occasion the most recent one been a small o ring rubber seal somewhere around the filter housing, i got it back yesterday thinking it was all done and no more horrible oil leaks only to do around 50 miles and well it was more like gushing out rather than a drip.
its trying my patience tbh so if any1 had this prob or seems familer plz plz plz get in touch

U have to be more speciffic to get help, what kind of Disco, where is the oil coming from, are u sure it's not fuel, at least as position(engine or gearbox)... could be so many things....if u are unlucky enough it's the cranckshaft seal or the gearbox input seal, or................., and the boys from the garage didnt want to go for it cause is a quite big job for such a cheap bit.
Crawl under the car and locate the leak first otherwise u'll get only guesses.

Take it back to the garage you paid to fix this problem - because they haven't fixed it !!!!!

I guess the clue to the model is in the title of the post! Agree that you should go straight back to the garage Leebam - I assume you paid em to fix it!?
