BuffUpdate Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 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 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 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 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 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 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 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 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 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...
