Hey! I always wondered how the engine looks like in my Mercedes. I took off the engine cover today and I was shocked when I saw my engine! There was dog food near all the cylinders! The food was cooked and most of it was black. Do you think this food harmed the engine? Or did I just cook some dinner for my dog? I have no idea on how long this food has been here. I have had the dog for three years. How does the food even get under the cover? I drove the car and the steering was fine but turning the wheel was easy, it almost felt a little flimsy which I am not used too. For the last seven years the car has had a sturdy wheel and this is different. Do you think I knocked something out when I took off the cover? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
