Description
The lubrication system on your Mercedes-Benz is engineered to be as effective and efficient as possible. The oil not only needs to flow through the engine, it also needs to be kept clean and cool.
One of the components that helps with this is the engine oil filter and filter housing. The oil filter housing is used to hold the oil filter which keeps the oil clean and free of contaminates.
Located behind the oil filter housing there is a gasket used to seal the gap between the filter housing and the engine. Since this gasket is exposed to so much heat and oil, over time it will become brittle and crack, leading to oil leaks.
If you have noticed oil leaks coming from behind the oil filter housing, chances are that this gasket has failed and needs to be replaced.
