ABC leak
I was driving my CL600 when suddenly the red warning light popped up. "ABC Drive carefully" I stopped the car to inspect and found oil leaking in front of the left rear wheel. I drove the car to about 90Kms. The suspension level was very low by the time i got to the mechanic. Should find out what the problem is tomorrow. I will then proceed with a repair and a ABC filter change.

Unfortunately I don't think it will stay that way. You drove for 90 km and at that point the pump would of been run dry with no fluid. I see a pump replacement in the very near future for you.
Goodluck and hopefully I am wrong.

Hopefully the leak was very slow. Pressure would drop which would trigger the malfunction.
As long as the pump didn't get run dry, things should be fine.
Jay, how much fluid did you have to add? That may tell you if the pump started sucking air.
