Hi everyone,
Please see attached photo taken from front of the car (2010 RRS 3.0) with leak and suspect areas.
Any idea what it might be?
Many thanks

Hi. No photo showing and the ones in your gallery how the wheel arch. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

OK, photo uploaded. Forgot to mention that this is shortly after timing belt and brake flexibles were changed. Called LR they said it might some residual. Will take it in ext week for check. 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.

That looks a bit excessive to me. Even if it's not actively leaking, that they left oil hanging around after work is completed which suggests a shoddy approach. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

And if its brake fluid, it will strip off any paint it comes into contact with.

Has it got ace ?

Could be that

Has the level in the brake fluid reservoir dropped ?

(Or any of the other reservoirs for that matter? ie PAS, coolant, ACE if fitted, oil level)

The dealer confirmed that it’s engine oil and it has to do with a seal, following the timing belt change. They say the repair will be covered by the guarantee of the timing belt change. Guess the good news is that I’ll get a free oil change 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.

Strange. No oil seals should be removed when changing the timing belt  Kev

Do they go near the oil pump tensioner? Another over torqued bolt causing a crack? This could be a lucky escape. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Hmm could be. The bolt on the tensioner should only be tightened to 24nm from memory. Kev

In fact they never mentioned a seal just the imperviousness being affected and that they would do it for free. So obviously related to the work they did. Will ask for a clear explanation and report back 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.

Is it clear oil? could also be the transmission cooler, given the location. RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux

Took the car back. Very unclear explanation saying it was a "joint d'ethancheité" basically an articulation which was not watertight anymore. No cost and no paperwork. 2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.
