#759 of 766 oil leak in the strangest place by 92benzo Jun 11, 2009 (3:06 pm)
I have a 92 500SL which recently started leaking oil from above the front window. It is leaking down the visor support and rear view mirror. It leaks freely when top is raised or lowered. Does anyone know if there is a resivore, will it damage the top mechanics, will it run out of oil and finally; what is the fix? I have ruined several pairs of pants.

#763 of 766 Unable to Diagnose Noise Which Occurs at about 45 MPH by tulsahog Jul 04, 2009 (6:39 pm)
On a 2002 SL 500, there is a noise near 45 MPH that sounds like the brakes dragging. Mercedes and a tire dealer said it was caused by tire noise. The car has the one directional, non-rotatable tires, rear larger dia than front. Put on new set of Dunlop tires and the noise did not change.   Doesn't seem this could be tire noise, especially since new tires did not change the noise. Could be a wheel bearing or what else?

Replying to: 92benzo (Jun 11, 2009 3:06 pm) There is one on each side - hydraulic fluid reservoirs for the retactable hard top. If one is leaking, it is best to replace both side at the same time. Cost ~ $400 each. Replies to this message: law4you (Oct 26, 2009 3:12 am)

Replying to: guilty (Apr 18, 2005 7:37 am) No, you cannot get a Mercedes wind deflector fixed at any hardware store, as it's a factory stamped process. Many clams they had done this but never supplied any pix of there achievement. I like any to post pix if they did replaced or know anyone that did. Carl
