Question : 1999
Mercedes
Benz SL500 Engine Size unknown Wheel Drive Type unknown
Automatic 60,000 miles I always have my car parked inside my garage. I went out
of town for 4 days and when I return my car had just begun to leak oil on the
night that I returned. I had not been driven for 2 months. Why would a car that
has not been driven for 2 months leak oil. By the next day all of the oil had
leaked out. Could there be a possibility of car tampering.Answer :
Check the sump plug is installed and tight, re fill oil
and clean engine and run up, check for any leak from under car, if sump plug is
tight there may be a crack in the sump, a leaking
oil
cooler, if leak is not visible or just a drip , have you
mechanic inspect for the problem.
