Help - ABC fluid leak.
I have a 2000 CL500 and recently received an error "car too low". The right front is sitting too low. After adding fluid and investigating I found that ther is a leak at the right front pressure sensor. When I start the car, fluid streams out right where the sensor screws to the manifold. If I can get a sensor, is this something I can fix myself? It looks pretty simple. Just unscrew it and screw the new one on. Is this the case? When I take off the sensor will all of the fluid immediately rush out and I will need to take it to a shop anyway? If I do it quickly and lose the fluid, can I just refil it and the car wipll raise back up? Will it need to be bled doing the rode test? Really want to know if is is something I need to not try and just take it to a shop or not? Your help and advice would be appreciated.

DIY Job, there is a repair Kit for the pressure sensor (around 80$ IIRC), if you mean the one that screws into the hydraulic block inside/behind the front passenger-side fender.
If thats not the thing you meant, then i have no idea unfortunately.
