In some cases even less than 1 yr. the dripping start. Thirty percent!!! that means I will be out with another 2K after one year if I am part of 30 percent. I better start praying now.

Well, for what it's worth, my independent Mercedes mechanic has told me that he has never seen another oil leak when he has replaced it with the new updated headgasket from the dealer. Never.
