CL63 Fluid Leak
Hi. This is my first post and my first Mercedes.
Got this car about 2 weeks ago from a Gov Auction and when I got it, it was 4 qts low on oil, 2 gal low on coolant, and the ABC fluid was empty and the ABC was not working at all. Got all fluids topped off and now the ABC is working but there is a bad leak. it appears to be the ABC fluid. It is not motor oil,or coolant... it is rather clear and looks just like the ABC fluid I just refilled.

Any ideas where typical leaks start, or where I should look?

Thanks,
Andy

I assume you're talking about the pulsation dampener mounted directly on the pump. There's no o-ring for that. Maybe the dampener is just loose.

Can you try getting a different angle? Kind of hard to see. But if it's the dampener, try torquing it.
