Oil Level Sensor Leak
My 97 E300 is leaking from the level sensor. Not the o-ring but the sensor itself. The model does not use a c clip on the sensor to put tension on a o-ring thats against the metal. It looks like a pressed fitting of some sort. I would like to fix this when I am changing the oil this weekend. The part is 80 at MB and 40ish at ********e. The sensor is fine, and the o-ring that goes with the sensor is not leaking. The oil is seping past the metal and out plastic interface. What are the chances that after the oil is removed. I can blast it with Carb cleaner, and put high temp silicon on this area??
Is this a common problem on the 606 engine?
