2001 s600 leaks oil from rear of engine

Hi all
I am new on this forum, just learning how things work.
I have a s600 that is an absolute nightmare. Car has 54000 mi and cannot go out for a drive without something else being wrong with her. she is in fantastic condition, sat though the winter and the cam sensors went out. trying to find the location of these sensors was working on my last nerve, but all is well as they are changed.
it leaks some oil from the rear of the engine somewhere, my searches lead me to believe the oil cooler is the culprit.
I would like to know what I have to remove to look at the cooler to see if its leaking.


Thanks for any help
Aaron

I don't have the answer, but maybe this will give you a little insight.

You should be able to have the work completed for much less than that at a local Indy shop.

I am going to do the work myself as I had to remove a lot of stuff off the top of the engine to find the leak. MB is going to get back to me with the parts list. looks like a good time eh. lol
