Oil leak

Hi guys, just noticed a few drops of oil on the floor leading round to where I store my car over night. Took a look under the car and seen the following under the front passenger side. Any ideas what it might be?

Thanks

Hydraulic fluid from the ARC system?
- the pipes that lock the arc system can and do corrode. Eventually leaking and failing which inhibits the cars ability to remain level on cornering.

Could be that... wouldn’t be a lot of liquid.

It's a 3.0 litre diesel sdv6. The damp patch has dried up now, I took it for a long drive today and it didn't reappear which I guess is gona make it hard to find the cause and fix

Was it recently serviced? A bit of ham fisted work by a mechanic and a bit of oil could find its way down to the underside. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Nope it's booked in for its 5th service at LR (included with service pack) and I asked them to take a quick look and see where the leak was coming from and they wanted £180 for the privilege!

Yes, LR dealer want money to investigate anything. Better off with an indie, service pack or not. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
