Oil leak up front, this can not be good.
Guessing front seal went. I have a slight oil leak at the front. I have no fan shroud or viscus fan installed which is why I probably noticed it. The crank pulley has a small pool of oil sitting in it. Safe to assume front crank seal? I dont see anywhere else the oil could be coming from.

Yeah, probably so. But, oil can blow all over up front, so a little cleanup and further checking might be in order before yanking the crank pulley.
To give you a ray of hope (ha) it could possibly be a tranny cooler hose blowing ATF back on the pulley - happened to me. DG

Valve cover gaskets are also known to leak on other MB engines.

I can get pic. But there is not trail of oil. I am not even sure how it could get inside the crank pulley unless, as mentioned, being sprayed in. I looked and that seems unlikely.
Been working on the 7 series so have little time to tinker on this one.
