Small oil leak - looks like coming from oil pan
My C43 has 95,000 miles now and their is a very slow leak coming onto the garge floor. Oil levels seem fine and I topped it up to be safe. When I get under the car, it looks like the oil pan is a little wet.
i am hoping it could be just a seal or manifold that is shot and worried about taking it in to a tech $$$.
BTW, anyone have a good mb tech they could recommend in So cal area?

Probably your front main crank seal, they give all the time. double check to see if its coming from the front of the crank. Look on the sides of the crank pulley, if you see oil be splashed around onto the block its typically front main crank seal. The stock design was really weak and they have upgraded it to a much more robust design. Its real cheap, like $30 roughly + labor. hope that helps.
