BuffUpdate Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Greetings everyone. After giving the area around the engine a thorough cleaning, I discovered that an oil leak is actually coming from a rectangular plastic cap located on the side of the engine, sandwiched between the sump and the bottom cover of the gearbox. The oil cooler seals were replaced a couple of years ago on this 2011 E350. Much obliged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmand Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago If the torque converter is located underneath, remove the cover to check for a leak in the back crankshaft seal. The gearbox is being serviced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffUpdate Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago That's exactly what I was considering after spending the afternoon poring over diagrams. I kind of miss the oil cooler days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjibb Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago If it's a small leak, I'd just watch it and fix it before the MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingNight Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Used something similar on a BMW engine and it got the job done. Renewing it is necessary with each oil change. It's not cheap to reseal ATP. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
