Hi guys, first post here and hopefully not the last.
I've recently bought my first MB, a 00 C280 with 157k miles. Drives excellent however there is a small oil leak from under the car. I got under it and the bottom of alternator seems oily, so guessing something from around that area where engine oil flows is causing the leak. I thought it might be the electrical connector for Transmission so bought a whole kit but now seems like leak is from somewhere else. Also, since the oil gets blown rearwards, a lot of under car is greasy.
Here are some pictures, hoping someone more experienced than me can give a suggestion as to where its leaking from.
