No self-contradiction here!

If you have neither, then you have no business trying to own and drive an older MB, or any older car for that matter.

I've always hated the HOA here... have had a few runins with them, but in my experience, if you fight them, you can win.. They have a rule that says no antennas here, I put up several on my roof, including a 8 x 6ft log periodic, when they started complaining, I told them to make everyone else take down their satellite dishes, since those are antennas, they haven't bugged me since.. They also annoyed us about only mowing the lawn once every 2 weeks (we have some fast growing grass) but after a few pictures of the HOA members lawns (we refuse to join and pay $100/year to an organization we hate), they left us alone about that too. I don't think theres a rule about oil stains though, as noones said anything about my mostly black driveway yet..

I'd find out where to get the diaper, and then use that until I had a chance to maybe figure the leaks out later.

I have never been more grateful for my gravel driveway in my entire life.

Are you absolutely sure this is not coming from the VC gasket or the turbo drain tube from the air cleaner? Hopefully your leak(s) will be easy fixes.

Do they fine for cat litter on the drive? Guess it depends on how bad of an oil leak...

If its something minor could you work on it at your works parking lot after hours or something? Shoot, go to the wal-mart parking lot. They aren't going to care! Just don't go to the Scottsdale ones
