hi Hive mind,
Daisy (09 2.4 63000mi) has a leak. Have cleaned the sump and bottom of engine with brake cleaner, looking underneath it comes from the left (looking at the engine) in the area shown in the pics, can’t see anything higher up but haven’t taken the fan cowl off yet to explore. She does have a weeping gasket on the vacuum pump that is going to be replaced and I can trace that down separately; oh and the sump plug is a bit leaky too! But any thoughts on this one please, she’s a daily driver so would rather be prepared and get all done at once with an oil change if I can.

Thanka MK that makes sense, so replacement would be this… https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic24247.html 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance

But before taking that way I would change the vacuum pump gasket and give another clean with brake cleaner or alike and a cloth. Then check it again. Puma 110" SW
