C250 Oil leak help
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I have a 2012 Mercedes C250. I am noticing some oil leaking from right behind the alternator and around the timing chain cover. I believe this is because I once overfilled the oil by about 1.5 quarts a couple of eyars ago. After doing some research, there doesn't seem to be a timing chain cover gasket, which makes me think the leak could be coming from somewhere else. Perhaps, it's coming from the cylinder head gasket? Has anyone dealt with this kind of oil leak?
Thanks!
Dennis
