[Mitchell.glass]

Hey, my 1998 mercedes benz just started leaking oil. I just turned 100k today on the car. is this a common problem with this model? It is making a weird noise fom the engine. the oil is not low. i just did an oil change and was maybe, a 1/8 of a quart low at the max. The oil light doesn't come on or anything like that. i made an appointment to get it checked out. If there is something that usually happens with this model, let me know. The oil leak is in the front of the engine, I have noticed this problem for maybe 3 weeks. let me know. My e-mail is mitchell.glass@gmail.com
