C32 Resealing the Recirculating Cover

[jerry270ML]

I changed my plugs and wires and I discovered that I have a small oil leak
on the cover that helps recirculate oil on top of each of the valve covers.

There is no gasket that can be replaced I have to use a gasket maker to create a new seal.

This is how it looks when the cover is removed :

You can buy the sealant from your local MB dealer.

It's about £15 for a tube. It's very very good stuff. Make sure that the surfaces are free of oils and old sealant.
