What mods have you done Steve? Surely if you've not touched the engine or drivetrain, the warranty that covers the car should be unaffected by what stuff you've bolted to the rest of your truck, if the problem is to do with the engine etc.

As I see it, if you've put better stuff on than OEM then you haven't risked the integrity of the car. Mind you LR might not agree

It's not your brake vacuum pump starting to fail and bleed oil down is it? Ours went and there was oil dripping from everywhere. SWMBO soiled herself.

Keep us posted.

Probably your front crank seal. I know there has been a few replaced over here.

Cheers,
