I was told from a couple other enthusiasts to find some forums and sign up... My car is so damn reliable i figured I didn't need to sign up anywhere!!

Well last night i noticed my low fluid light come on.. and shorty after.. engine temperature was going up and down... ( It never goes up and down like that)

So I pull over to a gas station.. Fans are just blazing.... and I look under the chasis for the inevitable...

Anti-freeze/coolant pouring out the bottom of the car like a 2 liter bottle that got knocked over...

Not exactly pouring.. but.. I have never seen coolant leak like that before..

The leak is coming out the bottom of the cars Skid plate.. and theres a little of it to the right.. I dont know how you guys describe which side is left or right of the car so... (As if I was driving) on the right side of the skid plate theres some drips.. and in the center of the skid plate its pouring...


Well i put a bunch of coolant in it and got her home.... Today I woke up and went out to the car.. there was drain/run off going into my street.. looked like 2 cups of water (ammount)


So I decided to put some water in it to see what would happen.... Well first part of the gallon nothing happenened... and then a lil over half a gallon.. It starts dripping green antifreeze...-


I'm guessing there is some " limit" to how much can run out as it sits... as i oviously " over filled" past wherever the " Hole" is....


Any input.. ? This is my first older mercedes.. it's run like a champ.. Up here in the cold alaska.. It starts up better in the winter then it does in the summer... It's a complete fluke of its kind... I love the car to death.. it has 107,000 miles.. I'm going to drive it untill I cant !


Thanks for the help !
