hi guys, got a problem with my 02 freelander td4 auto. and hope someone can help. here goes- sometimes the car runs fine and pulls well and no issues at all and all of a sudden when it hits just over 3000rpm it seems to lose all power and wont change gear. this generally happens when...

when i took the dip stick out it was coverd in oil. there are no other pipes off so i think it must have come out of there.
