| I own a 2002 cl-600 that has a terrible engine oil leak. the dealer wants $5,800 to repair the oil cooler. searching the web shows that this is a common problem with mercedes 12 cylinder engines. because leaking massive amounts of oil onto a hot motor is a serious fire safety issue, mercedes should recall all 12 cylinder cars and install a better designed oil cooler. | |||
