small oil leak near power steering pump

I believe it is engine oil rather than power steering fluid. Does anyone have any idea where this may be coming from?

I know.it is just very difficult to get a view of. It sorta looks like it comes from behind the power steering pulley. I will also be replacing the radiator, which will give me a better view.


I was just wondering if there's a part there that is prone to leaking. (I just did the valve cover gaskets)

Check the oil cooler lines. I just replaced mine. They're the two lines going into the oil filter housing, my lower hose was leaking. I don't have pics on my iPad, but search for oil-cooler lines e55 w211 on Google if you're unsure what you're looking for..

There is also an oil pressure port in the front cover that can leak.
