Just got bad news. MB experts wanted.
Here's a long story made short. about a week and a half ago i purcahsed a MB (not from a dealer) the TPMS light was on saying that it was malfunctioning, i took it to the dealer and they were covering it under the warranty that was going to expire on monday. The next appointment that they had was after the warranty expired and they were going to take care of the sensor replacement since i came in before hand, while i was there i was getting service A done.
While the mechanic was working on the car, he noticed that there was a oil leak off one of the vacuum hoses and one off of the transfer case. He brought me into the shop and showed me the leaks that he was reffering to. Obviously, i am 4 days out of dealer warranty, and its costing about $1700 to take care of everything.
What should i do? Im freaking out really bad right about now.

As far as the vacuum hose(s) issue goes, I'd fix it this first time. If it fails again within a reasonably short amount of time (at least 1 year) then get rid of it. My 2001 C240 Sedan had this problem, and anytime I accelerated above 5,000 RPM they blew again. 100% consistently.

Don't know about where your located but generally you should still be able to make a warranty claim if it's just 4 days over, you may need to just approach them in a certain manner about it.
I have a friend who made a major warranty claim to fix the entire roof of his convertible after the factory warranty had expired by several months, that was a $7k job.
