Gl450 Oil leak?!
Hey guys,
Yesterday me and my indie did a visual inspection on the front suspension and we found that there was oil leaking from the back of the engine on the driver side! We also noticed it was a light white smoke coming from that area as well. It’s leaking onto the exhaust pipe... What is this?

Do you have photos? What did your mechanic suggest? Could be a few things, try some searching on this site:

Rear main seal

I forgot to take pics, but the indies first guess was “valve cover gasket” if that helps. I personally couldn’t find that much on oil leaks for this engine online.
