Well today i was driving home and started to smell oil. Did'nt think much of it till i go to turn on my A/C and i got a quick hit of the smell and then vanished. I get home figured let me pop the hood and i see smoke not alot but i can tell its oil spilling on exhaust and its burning. Seems like its coming from drivers side towards the rear right were the headers meet the heads. I circled were i think its coming from. Its a 2013 E63, Sucks to i just recently did an oil change a few days ago.

Valve cover is likely problem.

had a mechanic look at it, says cam plug. Its leaking on a 02 sensor and some bracket next to the 02.

FYI: I don't know about your AMG powerplant, but my M278 got a new cam plug from the stealer this summer. Might've been ~$200-300 for the job.

Hope it's not more than that for you!

was this indeed a cam plug? I'm having an oil leak in the same area

Hope this helps.
