| Oil cooler leak on my 2002 s600, and i found out that this a very common problem on these cars (2000-2002 v12 engines) and a very expensive repair that mercedes benz should cover or at least a large percentage of the repair. i just found out about your website so i decided to file a complaint. i took the car to the mercedes benz dealer and they diagnosed it and said the rear main seal needed to be replaced. i paid over $1100.00 for this repair and took the car back 3 times within a week and a half because the oil leak continued only to find out the oil cooler is what is leaking and not the rear main seal. *tr | |||

| The mercedes s600 has a design flaw that causes a major oil leak from the oil cooler that is embedded inside the engine. this requires the intake and heads to be removed to replace the oil cooler at a cost of approximately $5k. special care must be taken to clean the oil from the wiring harness, transmission and areas that has been soaked by the oil leak. this problem seems to re-occur every 50-100k miles. as a known problem, mercedes has not assumed any responsibility for this problem. *tr | |||
