1999 MB c280 oil leak from oil filter housing.
I have the v6. The oil filter housing I have doesn’t have the 46mm nut inside of it. It looks like all one part. I would like to know how to
remove it and what seal needs to be replaced? Thank you

Your photos dont show any leaks. Where is it leaking?
FYI- The black cap is the oil filter cover. You need to use an oil cap wrench
to remove it.
The seal (o-rings are inside) once the cap is unscrewed and oil filter is removed.
Here is some more reading for you.
i see a lot about taking the oil filter housing out and replacing the seals in it. My oil filter housing doesn’t have a 46mm bolt inside to loosen it. How would I take it out and what seals do I need to replace in it? Thank you.
