keynote22,
who did you get that e-mail from?
The only leaks that we see on the M112/113 engines is at a small cover on the front cover near the oil filter housing.

I thought I had the common oil cooler leak, I cleaned the area below the oil cooler, replaced the 2 oil cooler seals, fired her up and realized the oil was coming from the plate/ cover below the oil cooler. Does anyone know what this plate is called? Better yet does anyone have a source for that replacement seal?

Did you happen to find out the name of that plate and /or part number, I think/know I am having the same leak on My c280
Thanks
