Discolored Line

Hey all,
Looking to purchase another m157 vehicle and this looks a bit strange. Does anyone have any input on what could be going on here? Ive never seen that purple before/ is it heat checked?

Interesting, anodized replacement line? Customization attempt? Seems rather uniform for heat checking. Is it a coolant line or an ABC fluid line?

It is in a 2017 GLE63s so I am wondering what it could be. The G-wagon has these other pipes, but you might be right, it could be an ABC thing?

The engine definitely has an ABC pump, so I am guessing power steering or ABC system line. I can look at mine and see if I can trace it to confirm. I have a CL with ABC, fyi, fwiw, etc.

Looks like it might be some sort of overflow? This is the only reason I cannot pull the trigger and buy this.

Could it just be a fluke of the camera shot? A sheen on a black pipe that appears purple ...

Looks like "Oil High-Pressure Line: pump to separation point" 166-320-1572, part of the ARS hydraulic system for driving stability.
Pulled that info from EPC, here's a random ebay listing with pics of the part: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255887931542
