It would be helpful if you could be more specific, take a look at the underside of the vehicle and around the engine bay, axle etc. looking for oily areas for a source as there are a fair few potential sources of leaks on a LR.

PAS fluid? I know Serenity ocasionally drips it from that area.

Get under and look and remeber a drip might not be in the location of a leak. Rabbit used to routinely spray what I thought was gearbox oil all over the shope. Was actually engine oil from a rooted head gasket running along the top of the box.
