Hi,

I just had my engine steam cleaned at a detailing shop, and the next day it seemed that I got a substantial oil leak, which I have not had before. (not sure if this could be due to something that happened during that process or just a coincidence). The 850 GLE (non turbo) has just over 100k.

Does anyone know what a likely source of the leak could be--I haven't put the car on a lift, but it seems like the leak is to the left rear of the engine with oil pooling on the bell housing.

Cheers,
PM
