SLK oil leak

[mxs]

I appear to have a small oil leak coming from the front of the engine of my 1999 230K. It looks like it is coming from the rocker box gasket! Is this a common fault or just lousy servicing?

Any advice or opinions welcomed.

How bad is the leak?

Not sure why it should be anything to do with lousy servicing, the cam box gasket wouldn't be touched unless there was a problem.

Not a common problem, just get it looked at and fixed.

Not a bad leak, but annoying!

Thanks - I will get it looked at at the earliest opportunity.

Put up a pic to show the leak. Sometimes its not the gasket.
