What engine and trans is it?
There are only few places where serious leaks occur. The rest
are fairly minor. The first step should be to get the car scrubbed underneath
and then go for a drive. Park the car over some white card board and note where
the leaks are located. The general area is usually a good place to start
looking whether it be a main seal or a simply a cam cover gasket leaking. My recently
sold 280SE 3.5 didn’t have one single oil leak anywhere,as an example.

Subject: [mercedesw108] Oil leaks
Hello, I have question about oil leaks. I have
been talking to the classic center, they tell me it should be possible to stop
ALL leaks under the car. My mechanic says these old MB, you can't stop all the
leaks. Since I've been driving it more, more oil is showing up and it looks
like there may also be transmission fluid. Have done quite a bit to this car
and am willing to do what it takes to stop this, it is a nice car that drives
and looks very good. Any leak I have on any vehicle sends it straight to the
shop. Can ALL leaks be corrected? Rusty McDonald, 1973 280se 4.5 - just rolled
over 72,000 miles.
