Mercedes E350 2011 leaking oil

[MLC1]

Just bought a second hand 2011 E350 3 months ago and it has just started leaking oil all over my driveway, not loads, but enough. Someone had previously mentioned an oil coolant seal that can go (costing £1300 to fix) I'm hoping that's not the issue. Are there any other reasons oil could be leaking? Anyone any other ideas on what this might be? Thanks in advance

I would hazard a guess: Oil!

Until its raised on a 4 post lift and the engine covers removed its only speculation as to where the oil is coming from.
Is it still under warranty?
Hope for the best.

Common on V6 and cheap easy fix are oil separaters, one on back of each cylinder head, can be seen and accessed between head and bulkhead, often you will get burning oil smell after running as they are above the exhaust downpipes.
Good luck....
