C220
Throttle Body Seals

New to this site and indeed Mercedes ownership.

Just took my recently purchased 2013 C220 to my local MB dealership for a service. They highlighted that the Throttle Body Seals require replacement as I have a 'large oil leak'...

My question is whether anyone know if this is a common issue and a simple fix that a proficient DIYer can undertake at home?

Whilst not a trained mechanic, I have many years experience in maintaining cars but these tend to be modern classics and nothing a complex as this Merc.

Many thanks.
