Trevorseaf Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 There is a significant oil leakage issue seen in my 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV6 3.0 model. Upon starting the engine, a substantial amount of engine oil is expelled and dispersed across the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashman4u Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Has the oil been recently changed by you or someone else? It seems that the source of the issue is originating from the oil filter/cooler housing. This might be attributed to the presence of a double gasketed oil filter, whereby the old o-ring was inadvertently left on the housing and then overlaid with the new filter. Alternatively, it is plausible that one of the hoses connecting the oil filter/cooler housing has developed a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 As a recent member, there is a lack of information on the specific engine model in your possession, as well as an absence of approximate knowledge of the potential source of the oil leakage. Despite these uncertainties, you are seeking assistance. I recommend taking the vehicle to an automotive professional for inspection and repair. If driving the vehicle to a technician is not feasible, contacting a mobile mechanic or an individual with rudimentary understanding of automobile mechanics may be a suitable alternative to begin the repair process.

EatSuru Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 It is advisable to discontinue the operation of the engine in the event of oil loss. Begin the analysis at the highest point and go downwards in order to determine its origin. The observed quantity of oil seems to exceed the expected amount for a seal, suggesting the possibility of an incorrectly installed oil filter. It is essential to do a physical investigation.

Trevorseaf Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 The vehicle exhibited a coolant leakage issue, prompting me to have it repaired. The specific component requiring replacement was the water housing situated above the oil cooler. During the inspection, I saw a significant accumulation of oil on the surface of the oil cooler, leading me to identify it as the source of the problem. However, is it plausible that a significant amount of oil would be lost from the cooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishazle Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If the whole of your engine oil has been depleted, it indicates the presence of more significant problems. The recommended volume should be equal to or more than 5.9 liters. There are several potential sources for oil leakage. As an example, the occurrence of a leak in my oil cooler was seen, and subsequently, the splitting of my water outlet resulted in a visual appearance like the expulsion of oil from my vehicle. The accelerated displacement of oil in the valley may be attributed to the presence of oil and the introduction of coolant into the system. This assertion does not definitively identify the issue at hand, but rather suggests that it may potentially be a problem that is exacerbated by another factor. It is important to actively engage in the process of thorough investigation and examination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorseaf Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Being truthful is a logical course of action due to the occurrence of a break in my water outlet housing, resulting in a significant coolant leakage. during replacing the housing, I observed a substantial accumulation of oil on the surface of the cooler. Consequently, I proceeded to cleanse the area and install the new component. However, during reevaluation, I discovered a reoccurrence of oil accumulation on the top of the cooler.

Chrishazle Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The visual representation provided depicts the appearance of the valley in the absence of the oil cooler. Once the valley reaches its maximum capacity, it starts the process of overflowing, causing the liquid to pour over both the front and rear sections of the engine. The oil cooler has undergone revision, with the installation of a Nissens unit (Original Equipment Manufacturer). However, you assert that it is situated above the oil cooler? The presence of oil at that location is rare. There seem to be several concerns present in this situation. Another potential issue might be a faulty throttle body seal or a cracked throttle body. I have thoroughly examined all of them with my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
