Is it coolant?

I'll ask my mate Steve he had the same. I'm sure it was a box out job.
so you might just want to call the dealers and get them to sort it.  |

Surely just a new family member marking its territory?

Whatever it is, it's a brand new car and needs sorting out by the Dealer.
Good to know that even with the run out models the build quality is no different.  2016 D4 HSE

I have sent the photos to the dealer.
The service department are unsure as to what the blue fluid is. It will have to go in for closer inspection. Perhaps is a secret ingredient exclusive to the heritage. Just something else to make it special!! Wanted a Defender for 30 years - now own the best - A Heritage 2015 90 SW Heritage 2014 RR Sport 2014 RR Evoke |

Looks like prop grease colour.. I had a custom prop built by GKN the other week and this matches the colour!

^^ could be ^^
I use JCB grease on my props and it looks the same colour, also tends to have a blue oily "run-off" from the excess that looks the same as that. |

As it's new, it kinda makes sense. Easy fix....clean the floor, job done

I found this underneath my new landmark as well... Apparently it's AddBlue or something similar to do with emissions, or at least that's what my dealer told me!
Haven't seen anymore since I wiped it up but interesting to hear what you get told too! -2015 Defender 90 XS Landmark- |

^^ What a load of tosh!
Defenders don't have adblue for a start and secondly if it did it should be no where near the transfer box let alone leaking out of it! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter  |

I did think I was being fed a line at the time but it hasn't reappeared since I cleaned it up so not been too concerned!
I didn't think that any fluid was usually blue, gear oil is usually red isn't it? -2015 Defender 90 XS Landmark- |
