Angry E240 Jerky driving and trembling engine (OBDII report included)

in the past 3 weeks I noticed my car is trembling whenever I stop or leaving it Idle, I ignored it and I thought was not a big deal, now I the car runs very jerky even though there is no "check engine" light in in the dashboard I checked the ECU for errors put it shows nothing.

I also noticed some oil/coolant mixture accumulated in one side of the coolant reservoir



I don't think it is relevant but I just recently replace the Battery

At this point I would quickly address the reported oil in the radiator. Drain a small amount--let sit for a couple of minutes-----what seperates out

The second thing I would do is check the condition and color of the engine oil

I checked the gear oil it smells and has the same color as the mixture in the radiator reservoir.

the color of the engine oil is brownish black,

With the confirmation that you have leaked water into the transmission fluid or visa versa, the more you drive, the more you damage.

Therefore get the car to a transmission shop for their evaluation and quote. Good luck

I would replace the radiator asap and do flush several times. Use cheap ATF first and then use Shell ATF 134 finally.

the car is already in the garage for inspection, I don't think the leak did any damage to the gear.

I will let you guys you when I get a reply from the garage.
