Sorry for wrong description. The leak happens between diff unit and propeller shaft. See Between 9 and 10 of attached picture.

You are probably right. I found a leak between rear shaft and rear hub, It could be o ring leak. Wonder anyone fixed rear axle leak?

I checked the wet area again this weekend. it is dry or half dry around it, apart of that it has no drips. I checked the tank and fuel pipe lines on chassis which is lower than the wet area. They are dry too. It seems a fluid was gushed from its underneath. I saw there are two grease U-turn hoses, last year MOT mentioned (Offside Rear Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material to hose) I don't think they are brake pipe but connected ACE pipes (see pic). However ACE level is still at max. I saw the rear axle oil was low when I changed it last week, gushed from there? or from the breather of tank if the tank was refilled fully some day. It is mysterious to me

Thank you for your info, Griff. Is the pipe connector to the engine direction accessible?

I also suspect a line is chafed, but it is not above the tank which is half dry at the left of the picture. I don’t know if there is access to the line above a piece of metal plate secured by the four bolts or from under the car carpet.

When I changed rear axle oil yesterday, I found its wet, then looked up forward a bit, there is a wet area where the rear seat is located above. I guess it could be leak from a fuel line (HP line?). But I can not see any fuel line at this location, maybe it is hidden between the inside floor and bottom of the car. How do I get access from the above of the wet area? Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks! Tanuki. There was no noise. Why doesn't this problem happen if the MAF is unplugged? This problem used to happen in 2/3 minutes after driving.

I have been trying to sort out this issue for a long time. At the beginning I thought it was caused by old MAF, I have disconnected MAF. After more than one month' driving, this problem didn't happen, then I changed a new MAF, unfortunately this problem comes back again in three days, it happens sometimes. I have cleaned oil at the red connector of ECU and changed the injector harness and the fuel regulator. It seems it has no enough fuel to kick off engine, afterwards it comes normal. I am not sure which one should be diagnosed next.

I have a garage changed FPR for fuel leak. But this problem still happens.

Thanks Les, Is it easy to check and change PAS pipes from the bonnet? Kai

I checked brake, ACE and PAS oils, they are light yellow. The coolant fluid is light pink. Are there any other fluids?

Since reply doesn't have an attachment funtion, I have to put it in a following post.

Sorry, forgot to attach the picture in previous post. Here is the picture

the engine doesn't stop, I feel the fuel is cut out.

My lovely disco. has oil leak at the front. I see oil dripping is clear. It suggests it is not engine oil. Yesterday, my wife told me she saw a black smoke. Although oil leak is not serious, I want to sort out as soon as possible, let me see if I can repair on my own. I attached a pic. Any ideas?

My lovely landy will lose power sometimes in the first five minutes after I start to drive. When this happens, no light is on or flashes on the instrumental panel. Even If I step down accelerator, it lacks power, it is like fuel is not injected, but the power comes back to normal after a few seconds. This problem always happen at the beginning after I start driving. I have cleaned oil at the red connector at the ECU, changed the injector harness and there is no oil inside it. Any ideas?

Thanks! I changed the injector loom and cleaned oil at the red connector at the ECU, there is no oil inside the ECU. But it still happens once a week. I guess there is air in fuel at the beginning once it starts. Maybe the air is sneaked from fuel pump, I don't know.

Thanks! I heard noise from the engine.

Yesterday, my landy whined but not started at warm state, I tried twice and it still failed, later I turned off radio and weather control, got it start. I changed battery this January and injector harness one week ago. This morning worked fine with radio and weather control off. I feel it didn't start quickly as before. Maybe this is symptom for a potential problem to appear in near future. Any ideas of how to diagnose it by DIY?

today I tried to remove plastic caps from the outside, it seems impossible. the screws are not possible to be unscrewed for small space without pull down the headlining.

My 2004 landy TD5 front sunroof got stuck, it doesn't open. I have disengaged the motor, the motor is fine and able to spin in both directions. I think there is mechnic fault in the sunroof. I can hear click by pressing sunroof button. I tried to pull the headlining to detach the sunroof assembly, it is difficult to pull down the headlining for the hooks for sun visor can not be unscrewed. Has anyone happened to know what causes the problem and how to repair it? Thanks!

once upon a time I have cleaned oil at the ECU, it seems better. I will do it again. I wonder how it causes the problem just at the beginning.

My lovely landy will lose power sometimes in the first five minutes after I start to drive. When this happens, no light is on or flashes on the instrumental panel. Even If I step down accelarator, it lacks power, it is like fuel is not injected, the engine sounds hm, hm, then it comes back to normal after a few seconds. This problem always happen at the beginning after I start driving. Any ideas?

I have a discovery 2004 td5. Recently, I find it loses power for a short time, then goes to normal after I start to drive a few minutes on road. Last month, I found a fuel leak from the fuel filter near the fuel tank, then had the filter changed. I wonder if there is air in fuel caused by the filter. This problem happened three times. Any idea? Thanks Kai
