My W212 E220 came back from service today after a gearbox oil replace. She drives smooth again if not for the enginemounts to be slightly worn (will do them soon).
The MB specialist also mentioned the car had developed a significant oil leak (couple of drops, about half liter per 10.000 km) somewhere near the air intake on the drivers side (that is the left side).
He could not pintpoint the leak exactly as there were many parts in the way so had to reschedule for an appointment anyway, but he suspected the air-intake.
I will check the engine bay myself over the weekend, but before I take apart the entire intake side of the engine, are there any obvious culprits that I can easily check myself? Anyone any tips in finding this issue before I take it back to the dealership?
