Oil leak & Crankshaft Oil Seal
Hi everyone. I recently noticed a small oil leak on the front side of my 2015 W205 C300 (~65,000 miles) and was told it was coming from the crankshaft oil seal.
The replacement cost around $800 at the shop, I'm wondering if anyone had experience/knowledge of replacing it themselves? or if that's too difficult of a job to do myself (I've replaced pulleys, belt, and spark plugs by myself in the past)?
I couldn't any helpful info or tutorial videos online so any suggestion/advice would be much appreciated!

Something to get you started to scout the job. Not your car or your engine, but the W205 M274 job will have similarities:
