An oil leak is never 'just a Range Rover thing'. Every leak has a source, and modern engines have several gaskets that harden in heat: rocker covers, oil filter housings, sump seals and the rear main seal between engine and gearbox. Leaking oil onto hot exhaust parts is also a fire risk.
We clean the engine, add UV dye and run the vehicle to identify the exact source before quoting, so you never pay for a repair that does not fix the leak. Most repairs use genuine gaskets and seals fitted with the correct sealant and torque.
Oil Leak Repair on the Range Rover Sport
The Range Rover Sport is driven harder than any other Land Rover, and it shows. Supercharger bearings, brake wear and air suspension on the SVR and V8 models are our daily work, alongside the diesel V6 family's timing chains.
Engines we cover on this model: 3.0 TDV6/SDV6, 5.0 V8 Supercharged, 3.0 Ingenium P400, SVR 5.0. Production 2005 – present (L320, L494, L461). Faults we see most often on the Range Rover Sport include supercharger nose bearing whine on 5.0 v8, front air strut and valve block leaks, brake disc warping under hard use, and each is diagnosed with the model-specific procedure before any parts are recommended.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find the exact source of the leak?
We clean the engine fully, add UV dye and inspect after a drive. The dye shows the origin precisely.
Is a small oil leak dangerous?
It can be. Oil on the exhaust or turbo can ignite, and low oil damages the engine. Have it checked.
How much does a rear main seal cost?
It requires gearbox removal, so it is labour intensive. Message us for a price on your model.
