The oil is from the the crankcase ventilation system.

Hi Alex, My Freelander 2 appears to have the same problem as yours (oil leaking from behind the "organ pipes") at the hose connections. How did you fixed yours? Is it enough to tighten the hose seals? Do you have appropriate acces for that from the top, or you need to get under the car? Thanks! |

I didn't fixed it. I've leave it that way. The oil that leaks there is minimal, it doesn't form a drop, just some mess because of the dust/oil mix. |

It was a drop formed over time and it fall over the exhaust manifold that is below.

Possible, but there is a hose securing screw missing from when the dealer did some work, so I need them to replace that, and they might aswell check it whilst there

had car at dealers yesterday, booked it in next week for them to investigate, and steam clean the area, says that the current clip, can crack the case and drip, so they might need to put a new one on which is designed to seal and not drip Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

Hi Alex, my 07 has been in for a management light coming on they said it was sticking throttle body. but I also have a oil from the top part of the front part of the engine looks like it comes from the top of the throttle body would this be caused by the sticking throttle flap? thanks seaN 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash, |

Could be... The oil from the crankcase breather mixed with the carbon recirculated through the EGR could lead to a messy "gunk" that could make the throttle flap sticky... |
