Exclamation 99 C280 front driver side oil leak,

I went to the local Auto parts store. I gave them the year, make, model. I start to replace the seals and these are not the right seals for the oil filter housing. The oil filter housing I have doesn’t unscrew with a 46 mm nut inside of it. I need to know what oil filter housing I have and how to I change the seals. That’s where the oil is leaking from. Thank you

Br@dy1,

Your photos dont show any leaks. Where is it leaking?

FYI- The black cap is the oil filter cover. You need to use an oil cap wrench
(similar to this - not sure what size you need on yours 74mm 76mm?) (similar to this - not sure what size you need on yours 74mm 76mm?)
to remove it.
The seal (o-rings are inside) once the cap is unscrewed and oil filter is removed.
Here is some more reading for you.
