W213 E63 RMS, issue to worry about or not?

[sgregory124]

Just had a little bit of a scare - car in for an A service at Inchcape/Group 1 in Nottingham this morning, got a call to say the car was all done in terms of the service (no cost as its on a service plan) - but there's a 'slight oil leak' from the lower sump. Panic mode and some catastrophising ensued, prompting me to get confirmation that it isn't the RMS leaking, which I was assured it isn't.

So they're keeping it overnight whilst they get the parts and i'll get it back tomorrow, albeit it costing me £500....but you have to pay to play I guess.....

Just thankful it doesn't need tyres or brakes this close to Christmas!

Apparently the sump warps slightly causing the leak (MB said it was quite common) mine was replaced in April this year no issue's since

Just to add it's apparently an upgraded part (sump)

Good to know - I’d actually noticed it was using a bit of oil so I’m guessing that’s where it’s been going for the last 11 months
