2006 Clk350 Oil Leak
I was hoping to get some help regarding an oil leak I was having at the rear of my cylinders on the passenger side of the car. I recently replaced the 3 expansion plugs that everyone says must be replaced and it stopped what I thought was my only oil leak. I started noticing a burning smell and figured out that whatever is at the rear of my cylinder block being held on by what seems to be 4 screws is leaking oil directly onto my exhaust. It has a vacuum line attached to it as well. Is this something I could possibly replace myself? I did the expansion plugs without any difficulty but I cannot find many posts about my particular problem so I did not want to venture into uncharted waters. Can I undo the screws holding this part on without messing anything up? I believe the part is called a Cam Breather but I could be mistaken. Any info would help me dearly and I thank anyone who could take any time to help a fellow Benz owner out.

Thanks Rodney. I replaced the housing as a whole. It has a rubber seal around it that wasnt keeping the oil in the housing. I put the new one on and all seems good at the moment. Im crossing my fingers I have no more trouble with this car. Its the dreaded 2006 CLK350. Thanks again for your help.
