Might be your transmission fluid leaking from the transmission plug on the transmission which has a wire which leads back to your TCU. Be careful is this is the case, could lead to problems in gear changing etc when your transmission fluid dips low enough. Also, the transmission fluid could follow the wire into the cabin and down into the TCU where it could fry the part and then your stuck buying a new one which could be big bucks!

But your comment above shows how important it is to get your mechanic to WRITE DOWN anything that he is advising you about, so that you can understand it later. You clearly don't know much about cars and the sort of problems that this MB model is prone to.....
