some sort of fluid on my engine. oil leak?
Hey,
Recently bought a used C63 2010 with 27k miles (havent gotten around to posting an opening thread yet...). Anyways I went to go drive my car today after about two weeks and when I got to my destination I smelled a faint burning smell. I opened up the hood and took pictures of what looks to be some sort of fluid near my oil cap. Any idea what this could be? Looks to light to be oil. I got my oil changed two weeks ago at a MB dealership (last time I drove it).
Let me know your thoughts.

Did it look like that before your oil change? I've had something similar happen to me, but spotting in a couple different areas of the engine bay on my 09 c63, they said it was normal.

Honestly didn't look at the engine bay immediately prior to the oil change. Not even sure its oil look to be very faint.

If you had it done at a shop I would just take it back and tell them that you have an oil leak that started with the oil change. On a 2012, chances are something is just loose. Maybe they forgot to put new crush washers on one of the drain plugs.
