Oil leak .... '03 ML 500
Noticed a few oil spots on garage floor, right / front area of car. Popped the hood & saw a thin coating of oil on alternator, water pump... pertty much the top front of engine. Also, oil down about 1/2 qt., never had to add oil between changes. Anybody experience similar issue? Thanks,

Had the same issue on mine.. it was the seals between the oil filter housing and oil cooler leaking. Oil would drip onto the belt and get flung everywhere. Do a search, there are a couple DIYs on fixing it.
