My 230CE has developed an oil leak down the RHS rear corner of the engine, running back down the side of the tranny casing & onto the exhaust - which was how I first noticed it!
My local (non-MB) garage has cleaned the underside & they think the leak is from the head gasket as there is no oil on the cylinder head above the gasket.
I read a post which mentioned a plug in the oil gallery on that side of the engine which can leak- but that was for a 220TE. Can anyone tell me if my engine has this plug or whether the head gasket is the likely culprit, please?
