I guess some can be. Leaking of the Bosch CP3 is not an anusuall thing and it doesn't happen only on high mileage vehicles. Mercedes uses it on diffrent engines, as well as Cummins (RAM) and GM Duramax, as I said a fairly common issue. May be a design flaw
I don't really know. For some reason MBUSA decided not to repair them but rather replace them with new, to the point where the repair kit is not available in the US.

The belly pans that the W210 I owned, and the W211 I own now have both held petroleum solvents in the past. The residue is not always able to be immediately and completely negated with heated water and detergents from the plastic pans, but will disappear over time.

Thanks, and yes, the belly pans were soaked, cleaning that was the easy part.
