HI
I am in the south of France and having fun up and down the various cols. It's fair to say they C63 AMG is having exercise
Today, after a couple of hundred miles in S+ and sport handling, it began to emit black smoke on heavy acceleration.
I stopped and there is an oily substance dripping from the cats and it smells ! but no sign of where it came from. The oil temp at the time was 137 degrees . The outside temp is in their high 30' s
After leaving it to cool and ending the day driving miss daisy style, all seems well.
The engine oil looks good and hasn't dropped level. It is 2 years old and 18k miles. It's fully under warrenty, but I am in France !
Anyone had this before ? My fellow travellers think it's gearbox venting because of the temperature and big lateral G ???
