Check the oil sending unit. Very good candidate for your problem and a cheap fix to boot.
Good luck

: My 2003 Disco 4.6L has developed some oil
: leaks at around 75K miles. The dealer
: mechanic says it is the pan gasket but after
: my own investigation I highly doubt it. I
: have thoroughly cleaned as much of the
: engine as I can reach from underneath and
: after running is for a day here are my
: observations.
:
: 1.The oil seems to come from the front of
: the engine, maybe the timing chain cover.
:
: 2.Base of head area on each rear corner of
: motor. The dealer did the valve cover
: gaskets right before warranty ran out at
: 60K.
:
: It is not a lot, but enough to keep the
: bottom the pan wet and lots of ugly drips on
: my driveway. My next idea is to pull the
: motor and reseal everything instead of
: chasing a bunch of leaks. Before I make such
: a drastic move maybe someone could inform me
: of some of the likely leak spots
