SL600 r230 ABC oil leak

[peter dunnett]

My SL600 has just dumped a load of Suspension oil on the drive, I removed the off-side front wheel and liner it looks like the oil has been ejected through the ABC bleed value.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed it looked like oil had been ejected out of the header tank as if the system had got pressurised in some way.
Any ideas about what could be the cause?

After further investigation the pipe from the suspension leg to the regulator has sprung a leak it looks like it has corroded and split any recommendations on where I can get a replacement?

On such occasions, tend to talk to my local indie he may know a mainland Europe supplier.

Hi Peter, it’s likely that only a Mercedes dealer will be able to supply a pipe, or a good hydraulic supplier might be able to repair it with a section of flexible high pressure hose.
