These are the fluids and yes you need to buy a dip stick and seal for the cap on the measuring tube

Hello, your leak will be coming from the electical connection plug or gearbox cone as its callled.
Replace this as well as the sump pan gasket, its very easy to change

told by merc today that they don't do a dipstick, but i have to take it in and put onto their computer to check level??

i think some one is being done over

TELEVISION is never wrong from what i know of him helping me in the past

Agreed, TV is our God......!!!!!

I've never known him be wrong. Measure out and measure in - that seems to be the way.

Measure out and measure in - that seems to be the way.

Not the way to do it if (as in the case of the op 'gert') you've already lost atf fluid due to a leak.

gert, Go to another MB dealer and get the dipstick (as television) .....about £25.
