Fluid Leaks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SYMPTOM	POSSIBLE CAUSES	ACTION
Coolant leak - External	Cooling system hose(s) damaged Expansion tank damaged Radiator damaged Casings damaged Seal(s) leaking	Refer to the relevant section of the service information and check the cooling system. Rectify as necessary
NOTE: This may be indicated by the emission of white smoke from the exhaust Coolant leak - Internal	Seal(s) leaking Casings damaged	Check for cross contamination of the coolant and the engine oil. Check for exhaust gases emissions through the expansion tank. Refer to the relevant section of the service information and check the cooling system. Rectify as necessary
Engine overheats	Insufficient coolant Insufficient oil Pressure cap fault Electric thermostat not opening Variable coolant pump failure Cooling fan failure	Check the coolant level and condition. Perform a cooling system pressure test. Rectify any leaks as necessary. Check the electric thermostat and rectify as necessary. Check the cooling fan operation - Ensure that the cooling fan rotates freely. Check for obstructions to the air flow through the radiator. Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment. Rectify as necessary
Engine takes too long to reach normal operating temperature	Electric thermostat stuck open	Check the operation of the electric thermostat. Rectify as necessary
Oil leaks - External	Seal(s) leaking Oil pipes leaking Oil filter leaking Oil cooler leaking Casings damaged Crankcase ventilation system blocked/leaking Piston ring blow-by	Clean and confirm the area of the leak. Check the visual condition of oil carrying components. Refer to the relevant section of the service information and check the crankcase ventilation system. Perform a compression test: Refer to: CYLINDER HEAD COMPRESSION TEST - INGENIUM I4 2.0L PETROL
NOTE: This may be indicated by the emission of blue smoke from the exhaust Oil leaks - Internal (leaks into the coolant or the combustion chamber)	Seal(s) leaking Casings damaged Valve guides worn Cylinder bores/piston rings worn Piston rings broken	Check for traces of oil in the coolant. Check for evidence of oil in the combustion chambers (deposits on the spark plugs, etc). Confirm oil consumption and vehicle usage with the owner/driver. Perform an oil consumption test: GO to PINPOINT TEST A .
