Sorry hit wrong key, but I have developed an oil leak on side of head on an 08 SL350. At moment it looks like it may be from either one of two plastic caps arrowed in picture or possibly what I think may be a cam position sensor. Does anyone know if these caps can be removed and possibly replace a seal, they look like they can be prized out. I know that in one photo there looks like a crack in between the two plastic caps but I,m fairly certain its just mark a casting . Cant take to a specialist at moment has been put on sorn for winter. Thanks for any replies.

The more I look at it I think its just the valve cover seal gone, I will change it and clean area up and see what progresses

They always leak, just get a pair from mb, they just prize out and new ones push in.
