Oil leak from W140

[W140]

Recently I have bought W140 420 and now I have noticed oil leak. Does any one know good independent specialist around London? Maybe have an clue how much can it be to repair?

Might help to give an indication where the leak is on the engine? Could be trivial- cam cover gasket or could be more serious-- cylinder head gasket/ timing chain cover -- however if the oil loss is not too great-it might be best to live with it.

The sump gasket is quite a common one on that V8

Just up the M1 there's:

Harpenden Auto Services :: Your local independent Mercedes Benz and BMW Service Centre

I haven't used them, but would be happy to. They were founded by the former service manager of what used to be the MB main dealer in Harpenden. Location in Luton is good in terms of likely prices.
