There's a thread going on the AMG forum, and someone says they found two oil drain plugs. One on the left and one on the right? I don't have a '55 but I was wondering if this is the case.

Hey Seven, I think you are thinking of the tread I posted in over on SL55AMG. Searching on the WWW shows many mentions of the 55 compressor motor having two factory drain plugs....one on the left side, and one on the rear. Benz World has a few threads on it. Two sumps/plugs because there is a crossmember going between the two sumps.

I certainly was referring to your thread. Thank you for that response.

Took a quick pic just now. That's the rear plug, and the second plug is on left side. Had to remove that panel held on by four 8mm bolts. Cant see that plug now because panel covers it up.
