I thought I cleaned it up well after I put the new part in, but maybe not. Anyway, I cleaned it up again and will look at it in a few months. I know that there have been two or three iterations of the problem o rings. Anyone have the correct current part numbers or what color the latest and greatest o rings are?

Tried to do a search, but must not have picked the right search words.

Thanks.

the latest o-ring that come with the plug are white, the mercedes number for the plug is 203-540-00-53, be sure that you do clean the area inside the plug with brake cleaner and the pins in the plug itself, also use some transmission flud on the orings to facilitate their easy installation, if you do it dry you may damage an o-ring. good luck and please let us know what happens.
