Stranded car won’t start!
Driving home and noticed smoke from underneath hood turned out oil filter rubber seal must have got twisted and the cap came loose
i turned off car and fixed it yp

i took cables off too hoping to reset
nada
what might cause this?

Oil down a quart still no start
sometimes hear 1 click but usually nothing
cps replaced last year
wondering about starter, maybe got screwed from hot oil flying around engine bay

I had a power steering hose explode on my last AMG and months later transmission fluid line explode. Both times covered everything. Nothing worked, lots of codes until engine steam cleaned.

yah caught your PM, thanks for the advice
job seems fairly involved though with exhaust and motor mount having to come out. I’m under a full house renovation right now so car problems are really a nuisance right now
with motor mount and exhaust half out I was thinking headers too lol

Goes out through the bottom. Nothing comes out. Unless the E is substantially different than the CLS, which I doubt.

I believe its the oil level sensor telling the ECU that the oil level is too low to safely run the car, therefore it will not run until the oil level is full.

It has to be the starter or something closely related
Yesterday car would not start, but after rolling a few feet it fired up
