How To Replace The Engine Oil Cooler Gasket On A Mercedes-Benz E350, C300, SLK350, & More (M272)

►If you're finding oil spots underneath your Mercedes-Benz, don't panic—it's probably not from your valve covers or oil pan. It's most likely your oil cooler gasket that is extremely easy to replace.

The M272/M273 engine is unique in the fact that it doesn't really suffer from valve cover leaks like a lot of other engines. Instead, what can appear to be a valve cover leak or even an upper oil pan leak, is usually the oil cooler gasket. You will typically find these leaks toward the left-hand side of the car/engine. 

One way to check for the leak is to look for dirt on the oil filter seam. From there, oil trickles down toward the driver's side of the car. If you let the leak progress even further, you will start to notice dirt and oil on the serpentine belt tensioner.
