2015 GL350 Oil Leak at Dipstick Tube

Only info I could find on this is that there is a seal that likely needs to be replace by removing two bolts and lifting the tube to replace the seal. Seems pretty straight forward but did not see anything specific to the GL350 just Sprinters and sedans with the OM642 engine. Issues were not being able to lift the tube because of clearance and having to use heat because the tube is basically just jammed into the block. Does anyone here have experience with replacing this seal - any advice/tips would be very welcome.

Hello. I'm experiencing the same and I can't seem to figure out how to get the dipstick tube out for a replacement. Did you ever figure it out? If so, please let me know how you got it done. Thanks.

No. But, it developed and oil pan leak as well. Took it to and indy and in the course of the repair also replaced the Dipstick seals, rear main and a few others.
