2011 c300 camshaft expansion plug part numbers?
Does anyone with access to the catalog know the current correct part numbers for the 2 different sized expansion plugs on the rear of the engine for a 2011 w204 c300 (m272?) ? I have a nasty oil leak and suspecting that’s where it’s from but regardless I’ve put 80k miles on the car and never changed them. I usually buy parts from FCP but can’t seem to find these on their site. Also may be a stupid question but I don’t need to drain the oil before swapping these, correct?

You can buy them at Rock Auto for cheap:

Also, check and see if your PCV valve is leaking:
