Hi all, I have a 2003 SL55 R230, I have an oil leak from my ABC pump, not exactly sure where its coming from, but its somewhere very close to it.
The pump still works, power steering is still functioning and the ride hight adjusts as normal, but every so often I have to add ABC oil. All four struts are totally dry, when the car is placed up on a ramp and the under tray removed you can clearly see the area the oil is coming but seeing as its so cramped its difficult to pin-point if its a hose or a seal connecting the hose to the ABC Pump.
Apparently this pump is around £900 plus fitting.
Not sure if my warranty company will cover it (Warranty Direct) because even though they do cover for that part failure but NOT for oil leaks!
Is that pump serviceable, is it a common failure, could it be a hose leading to it or from it?
Thanks in advance.
