Do you mean the engine oil? There is no way that oil from anywhere else can find its way in to the engine.

The front Diff can leak down to the swivel housings but that’s about all.

I get about 2000 miles to a litre on my old 280 and I am quite happy with it.

What sort of mileage are you getting with no drop in level?

Have you checked the diff oil level – they only hold 2litres. Also diff oil is quite thick and foul smelling and wont get all black ad cruddy like engine oil.
I guess you will have to trace the drips back.
