Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: WAS: Rear Main Oil Seal leak NOW: Oil Cooler Line moisture

 

Kevin's gonna check to see if it's loose at the connection. 

It is oil. 

It could explain my sudden jump in oil consumption. I had it under control, down from 5qts every 100 miles, to 2 qts every 200 or more miles. 

Last week I was getting ready for interviews in downtown Dallas, so I checked the oil, then warmed the car up and checked the trans fluid.  That's the first time I saw the "moisture".  When I got home I checked all fluids and that line, nothing. Wasn't even sure which line I saw it on earlier in the day!  Forgot about it until yesterday.

I have seen other rubber reinforced lines "sweat" for whatever reason.
Air conditioning lines, oil cooler lines etc. Unless you actually see
fluid that should be on the inside coming through to the outside I
wouldn't worry too much. If it is actually "oil" on the outside check
to see if it is a drip running down from a fitting. Don't know why
hoses "sweat".
