2002 ML500 Oil Leak


I have a 2002 Mercedes Benz ML500 and it has an oil leak at the top of the engine on the passenger side (attached are some pictures). I can’t pinpoint exactly where it’s coming from. I just need to know what seal(s) I am going to have to buy to fix it. It drips on the front belt and sprays oil everywhere which is very annoying.

Could be the seal between the cooler and oil filter housing - read here
OR possibly, the expansion plate - read here - post #14

Thanks, I appreciate it. I’ll probably just change both of them so I hopefully won’t have to worry about it.

I would recommend you de-grease those areas first and get a better visual to pinpoint which is the leaker.
No point in replacing one if it isnt leaking.
