Fuel breather hose is usually the problem.
Have a read if all this: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic22296...ather+hose I cut a hole in the floor similar to what is shown on page 8 of above link to fix my previous Defender leak.  Last edited by DAZ110 on 4th May 2024 1:36pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Looks like the breather to me too. I got a garage to change both my breather and filler hose using genuine LR parts.

So I decided to have a little poke around, and a very rusty jubilee clip fell off. I have now replaced, and filled up with fuel, and no leak.
If only every landrover job was that simple! |

You can get nice stainless ones of those if you find the size.

Removed my split breather last night, probably the original because the plastic clip tying it to the chassis was still in place, new pipe should arrive today - fiddly job to do in situ, but doable without dropping the tank (mudflap and wheel off, truck secure on axle stand) five minutes with a fine tooth sharp new hacksaw blade to cut off the old crimped clip on the tank connection, wrapped some gorilla tape round for a handle and used as a pull saw.

I assume this was on a 110 ?
Think it’s more difficult on a 90. |

110 - still a faff
Avoid ‘marine’ reinforced hose, it’s not flexible enough if you are working in situ and stick with the standard type - don’t ask me how I know this. A flexible 1/4 drive is essential for the jubilee clip Click image to enlarge |
