[diesel_mercedes] Engine bay filled with fluid?

 

While driving down the central valley in California approaching  the Grapevine I stopped to fill my tank with veggie oil.  I had left San Francisco with 1200 pounds plus a full tank and all my stuff.  I was only getting 18mpg and 75 mph was hard to maintain.  I popped the hood and the whole engine bay was wet with what I think is hydraulic fluid from the leveling system. I got a liter and dumped it into the reservoir. Didn't even touch the dip stick.  I also didn't have the heavy weight in the 1980 300 TD.   It was funny.  Some parts were totally dry and the air cleaner had puddles I can't find where the fluid came from. Putting in the liter didn't cause more leaks.  I'm stumped.  Lawrence Rhodes
