Problem Reports

Oil pan leaking. Mechanic thinks it is because the pan is aluminium

minor oil pan gasket leak - noted by mechanic during other service - not yet repaired.

My oil pan began leaking at 32,000 miles and even though all oil changes were done by the dealer they chose to not disclose this problem. A problem like this should have prompted a recall especially when it involved 9 hours of labor. Since the leakage was slight and the engine oil level was not reduced it was overlooked. The dealer service department had to have noticed while making the oil changes that oil was splattered so this indicates the ethics of Jaguar dealers.

slight weeping on oil pan seal , oil loss is minimal , so will just monitor in case it gets worse , if this is a regular fault with these enginines it would be nice if dealers would sort it.

I had 2 of the same cars 2005 x type and they both had the same problem on both cars,also the dsc fault light also came on and stayed on ,on both cars.
