[C320-list] Oil Leak

[Ken Danko]

Allan:

Thanks so much for this information. I have the same problem. Every once in 
a while I find a drop of oil and I couldn't figure out where it was coming 
from. Now I know. Unfortunately my current problem is resulting in much more 
leaked oil which is coming from the front of the engine, possibly the 
sending unit.
