Video-722.9 transmission leak, 2009 ML320 diesel W164
I tried to access the spot with a camera and made 2 videos:
Does anyone had similar issues?
If I leave the car off there is no leak. The leak only appears when I run it and seems to be very slow.
Any tips how to address the case?
Here is a video from the top of the car.
Seems like this accumulate oil reaches the transmission via the drain you said.
And by the way, every day I drive the car on the first "pedal to the floor" I got some grey or black smoke out of the exhaust pipes for 3 or 4 seconds.
On the second time of pedal to the floor or during that day if I accelerate hard it does not happen.
After the car sitting for a night it will happen again. Does this happens to you as well?
