W208 Oil Leak! Help!!!
98' CLK 320
8 months ago I replaced both valve cover gaskets and they seem to be hold ing up fine. Lately I noticed oil leaking, not from the gasket area of the valve cover but above it. It seemed to be coming from the oil filler cap and neck. So I R&R both. It helped alot but there is still some oil leaking from the valve cover it'self. I can't seem to find any gaskets for this area. How do I go about fixing this leak? MB Silicone? Thanks in advance!

You need to r+r the valve cover, then remove the bolts holding the upper portion of the valve cover on, pop the upper section off. Scrape off the old sealant, and put some new sealant/rtv on. That should cure the oil leak.
