I have a 2015 with 152k miles. Seems to have this issue.. I first replaced the oil cooler and gasket with brand new Mercedes parts, it was good for a few months then one day I checked the coolant reservoir again and there is a lot of oil in there.. not looking forward to replacing those two gaskets behind there as I already had the whole front of the engine apart for the turbo cooling lines, water pump, timing covers, etc..

CANCEL KILLER MIXER...?
2¢: heatsoak pressure may be what's pushing these gaskets over the edge.
We know oil crankcase can not build static pressure, on the other side of heat exchanger is the coolant cap venting above 5Bars right?
Do you think if you prevent the heatsoak by the superheated core and circulate coolant after stop with electric pump mod this failure can be cancelled?
The seals won't get cooked and the extreme pressure won't build up, right?
In any case less extreme oil temperatures should be beneficial for gasket and plastic materials.
