well, theres a tremendous amount of gunk down there, though i dont seem to be actively leaking or burning significant oil. i really just dont have the facilities or space (i have to park on-street) to do the job. in any event, $90/hr. seems to be the going rate for mercedes shops here in the boston area. i once took it to a non-mb mechanic that i used to use. sure enough, they charged significantly less per hour, but had to farm out the job because they didnt have the right tools, and it ended up costing me way more in the end.
