Oil leak....please help.

Hi,

I have a 1998 E300 Turbodiesel. One week ago I had the fuel injector pump replaced as I had been have a serious fuel leak and the car was having difficulties starting when cold. This fuel leak had been in existence for some time. When I received the car back she worked very well and the engine felt like new.

Two days ago I noticed a fresh puddle under my car after leaving it parked for about 18h. The liquid on inspection was odorless and dark brown and slightly viscous. The fact that it has no diesel smell is a great relief. The puddle is about 4-5inches in diameter and is on the right (passenger) side of the car, under the engine compartment. The car still starts fine and I have noticed no changes in performance.

The car last had an oil change 1500miles ago and is running with 15W40 synthetic oil. I checked the oil today and its at the halfway mark.

Any Ideas????
