Fluid leaks...
Can anyone tell by the pics what might be the cause of these leaks?
The motor leak APPEARS to be coming out from this pulley (see pic #1), but I can only see so much.
I was told about the rear main seal(?) leak when I bought the car and had Mercedes inspect it. But they said it was not serious.. wth? Lol. How bad does that look?
Hope I'm not annoying anyone with too many threads lately (get over it
), just trying to sort out what needs to be done to this car I've just bought in order to get it into top shape.

Couple of those pics back by the trans almost looks like the oil is leaking down from up top and working its way around the bottom of the bellhousing. Try to get a look at the back of the heads and see if the valve cover gaskets are leaking down the back. It's amazing how many leaks come from valve covers and have you chasing your tail looking for the source of the leak. I don't think the rear main leaking would have oil that far up the sides of the bellhousing behind the motor.
As far as the pulley I'm not sure what that is there but I wanna say its the power steering pump possibly? You check the fluid level of the power steering fluid if its in that area?
