I am chasing an oil leak. I don't necessarily think it is coming from these devices, but I have no idea what these are. They are on the upper oil pan, passenger side, 2 that look identical, staggered diagonally, and covered with foam. What are these?

 

Looks like the HPFPs to me.

Yes those are your high pressure fuel pumps. They can leak oil, as they sit in the oil pan below the full level, but it's uncommon.

Is your vacuum pump leaking?

 

I appreciate the help here. For some reason I wasn't thinking they'd be this low. That being said this is not what is leaking, if you wanna call it a leak at this point. I used a borescope to get behind the motor mount which is where the source seemed to be. Well....I posted about it in this other thread here. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...st#post2921094

 

Perhaps, Rover Joe can help out here.

The HPFPs on the V6 F-Pace (now replaced by a 3.5t GV70), were way more noisy than those on my two V8s. I noticed, when I replaced the alternator, that the F-Pace lacked the noise isolation covers over pumps. This results in a really loud clatter on start-up.

Is this true for all the V6s, or were mine removed at some point?

I can't imagine they were supposed to be missing, every one i've ever seen has the foam on them.

 

I wouldn't be surprised that some mechanics might just not reinstall them if they replace the pumps, engine mounts or something around there.
Maybe even keep them off & try to sell them on Ebay or something.

 

Very many lazy techs out there that don't believe in putting insulation back on things. It's disappointing when you're a tech who actually cares and takes pride in your work. Most do not, sadly.
