2011 SC engine oil leak from starter
Hey guys. I picked up my first Range Rover. It is in beautiful shape. But has some things to work out.
One of them being an oil leak/drip. I can't pinpoint it. It looks to be dripping from where the starter motor mounts and running down the bell housing externally. It is 100 percent not coming from above the starter. I also opened the bell housing plug on the bottom and did not find much oil in the bell housing.
Just wondering if this is a common place for an oil leak and if there is a fix for it without removing the transmission.
It is a small leak that I probably wouldn't worry about. But if I can fix it I would like to. I wouldn't want it to get worse.
Thanks in advance!

I know it was while ago, but can you remember where that plug is located?
I have the same problem.
Thanks
