My 96 Discovery has a plastic baffles inside the valve cover port that connects to the hose. If it got brittle and cracked, then oil could leak by. Its cheap and easy to replace, along with the hose. There is a second hose on the other side to replace as well. Land Rover was proud to pass emissions standards without using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The whole system is sealed, so all the air entering the engine is being metered by the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, unless your breather hoses crack and leak. Unfortunately, oil in your location might also indicate other engine trouble, such as worn piston rings (causing pressure in the crankcase). I would try replacing the plastic baffle piece first.

SOURCE: transfer case oil change- 1999 Land Rover Discovery II

No need for a diagram, to drain the oil, there's a drain plug on the bottom of the transfer box, under the handbrake drum. To fill, the fill plug is about in line with the centre of the handbrake drum and to the left. I think both plugs are 1/2" square. Fill to overflow with Texaco Multi-Gear 75W/90R. Takes about 2L or so.

You need to check the oil pressure at the oil filter, why do you think you need an oil pump?

1996 land rover discovery intake manifold gasket

oil from the pcv valve going into your intake manifold will cause a gasket to swell. but it should not be to the point where it's noticeable. you should probably replace the intake manifold gasket at this point.

Breather hose covered in black oil what can caurse this breather was replaced 5 months ago now oil hose soaked in oil is it serious its a landy 1994 disco

Any oil leak should be attended to ASAP for obvious reasons... could be a split hose or excessive crank case pressure. If the oil loss is minimal then no need to panic but I would get it looked at by a Land Rover speciallist.

How do i remove the heater defroster kit and

Loosen the clips holding the coolant hoses and release them, remove the throttle body by undoing the 4 bolts holding it to the plenum chamber. Discard the gasket & fit a new one on refit. (This is after removing the intake hose, and disconnecting the throttle & cruise control cables. Then undoing the clip securing the breather hose and the multiplug).

No vacum to cruise control

make sure you dont have a vacuum leak first, before you replace the switch. The number one cause of cruise control dropping out on these older range rovers is a leaking vacuum hose.
