Engine Oil Leak
Today while changing oil I noticed a small oil leak/seepage on the left rear of the engine block from a switch/sensor. It occasionally will collect enough on the switch/sensor to drip on the cat conv. and cause an oil smell. Can anyone help indentify this switch/sensor and hopefully can its seal be replaced while the engine is in the car.

post a pic. most common is gasket sealant rubbers. replace both and torque bolts 8nm. apply original benz glue for selants.
easy to do. theres a diy if i am not mistaken. parts are very cheap
