Leak inside Front Right Well.. Help.
I have a 2003 E320 Sports and recently I've been seeing some signs that my front right well is wet or some liquid stuff is leaking somewhere. I jacked my car and see where is it coming from but couldn't find it. Anyone had this problem before?
I did a service before at the dealership and told be that I needed to replace bushings, are they the culprit to my problem? I asked them about it and they told me hydraulic fluid are leaking through the bushings, are they correct about it?

Car free at the moment
The windshield washer fluid reservoir lives inside the right front wheelwell. Give it a few days and I bet you'll get the lower washer fluid warning on the dash.
It's an easy fix, though you do have to remove the plastic wheel well liner to access the reservoir. Could be a cracked plastic reservoir, could be as simple as the seal where the washer pump attaches to the tank.

I had the same leak behind the right front tire. I removed the wheelwell liner to gain access to the tank and then replaced the washer pump seal and the level sensor seal. It stopped the leak. Both parts were less than $10 from Parts.com
