You can ask over there, the manual they have should include W222 info as well.

Yep, bought it from MB of Louisville who was recommended on here.

I bought it because I considered keeping it, otherwise I never would have let it go out of warranty before trading it in. Lease was 48 months

Thanks for the clarification. I forgot you had a 48 month lease, I've only ever leased on a standard 3-year term, and never with MB. Thanks!

Are these from the first time it leaked or after it was repaired and it leaked again?

No this is after the repair. The valve cover leak was invisible, it only showed oil in the spark plug holes.

Anybody buying a used S560 should add this to their PPI!

I did my plugs at 50k, no oil.
I checked again last week now at 80k, no oil.
Mine was made 11/18

I had this job done this week, took 4 days with $510 labour cost. Gasket comes as a silicon tube and at the same time replaced many minor seals:

1. Vacuum pump gasket
2. Expansion plugs.
3. Fuel high pressure pump o rings.
4. Vvt solenoid o rings.

i was having a minor leak in spark plug area cylinder #2. Car millage 71k

Mine was done at the dealer under warranty however only one side needed repair. I assume yours was done at an independent shop?

yes, indeed it is an independent workshop specialised in European cars. I did both sides as a precaution, I was afraid that this leak damage my double head coil.
