I don't know were your leak is but mine leaks at the front off the auto gearbox. I asked for 3 quotes it's about 2 days work and think about 1500 euro. Maybe with the manual it's easier. Roel

Phew
turned out to be a sliver of a cable tie trapped between the seal of the oil filter housing and its base, liberally coating the engine/gearbox/car with oil  £85 for new filter and a steam clean... breaths sigh of relief
lesson learned don't trust a bargain offer from a none LR dealer/stealer .... do it yourself
