yeah, its either coming from the front of the oil pan seal, the front cover seal, or the oil level sensor, these are very common leaks onthe 112 /113 series motors. the factory does not use gaskets on these seams, just an rtv sealant. mercedes has a black gasket sealant in a small tube that works wonders on leaks.. the fix is to remove the part that is leaking, clean the residual sealant off of it, reseal and reassemble the parts. an oil pan reseal takes about 1-2 hours, a front cover reseal takes longer because the pulleys and what not must be removed from the engine before r and r..

MBZ has a 5 year- 50 k miles bumper to bumper warranty. If you fall under these circumstances, bring it to you dealer. MBZ dealers are one of the best when it comes to their customer service.
