W140 has hydraulic suspension not air. If the oil is not black it is probably hydraulic fluid from your tandem pump (power steering/SLS) which is why your rear suspension is sagging. Front suspension is not hydraulic. Check your SLS lines leading up to the pump and see if you have a loose fitting or if it’s coming from the pump itself. Hey you did a whole video without saying ladies and gentlemen, proud of you
Sell the 12K exhaust, buy the Dancer RV and start your own Breaking Bad series. I've heard you'll get your requiered budget soon enough. And then start buying proper project cars.
Here in the states you want to look for Manheim Auction locations. They won't have the quantity of exotics that your seeing, simply because it's the American market. But, most Manheim locations would make that place look like small operation. As a teenager I worked the Minnesota location & we could have on the property shuttle rides that would last an easy half-hour. Heck, at the time it even had it's own test track with a half-mile straight. It was like working at Disney Land for a car loving teenager.
replace the car with a 96-99 s600 and put the exhaust on the other car. 95 and older s600 are too much work and so many problems.also newer one has 5 speed and coil on pack and its alot faster.
I had a problem with leaking oil just like that with my Mini Cooper. The problem was one of the washers that is supposed to hold in the oil was destroyed, it was cheap to replace but it caused a serious mess on my garage floor.
I worked at Mannheim auctions in Riverside. Much the same as this auction place. Nearly brand new cars and exotics. Favorite I drove was a Miami blue gt2rs
Rear suspension sagging? Hydraulic suspension gone bad, all of it. People make assumptions, fill it with the wrong stuff and fuck with all the seals. I recommend changing to Coilovers, as the only permanent fix is replace the entire hydraulic suspension.
Hope you can repair the oil leak... that auction site of what I understand it’s an American Cars on re selling place it’s totally amazing. Hope soon here in Mexico can we get something similar!
Look up Manheim Auto auctions for the states. I used to frequent the one here in Atlanta and it's roughly this size. Iv got photos from the exotic sale days that have rows and rows of high-end exotics. There is also Adesa but Manheim is by far larger. Also, as others have stated I agree that the leak is likely from the hydraulic lift system. Convert that to coils and save yourself headaches.
Arrigato Gordon!!! Always tune in for your Japan VLOGS and this one was ridiculous!!! The Tokyo auto auction house is where you should pick up your next vehicle. Gotta do a GTR of some sort.
Hey Effspot, just saw your youtube video about your w140. I got a w140 s500, and from what i can see it seem like the oil puddle is trasmission oil, my car has the same issue of oil leak due to rubber ageing of the oil pan
Appreciate the input man! The mechanic said it is a potential transmission issue. They're looking into it to make sure the entire transmission doesn't need to replaced. I'll try and relay your input over to them, thanks!
That's the rear main seal because its right between the engine and the transmission i'm sure that's the problem its very old now you should replace all gaskets and seals
0:49 Air suspension introduce on W220 S class. W140 still use hydraulic SLS suspension. Change to coilover if you don't serious too much the smoothness. Sometime Overengineering make us trouble too www.benzworld.org/threads/my-story-rear-suspension-conversion-sls-to-regular.2666097/
That broken suspension probably was the reason this car was sold into export in the first place, sorry to say.. I hope you still enjoy the vehicle though..
Probably just a broken seal somewhere on the oil pan. But because it's an old expensive Mercedes, that will cost you your first born child and some antimatter.
@@effspot I am a 9 car hauler, u should check out manheim in riverside or fontana, might surprise u , I go there often. Maybe not a lot of gtr's but a range of just about everything! Remember, as is & no warranty
Any car can be imported into the US. It just needs to meet strict and complex standards set by the EPA and DOT and can get really expensive not making it worth importing. If it’s 25 or older it can be imported no problem
As far as I can tell he's from California and his parents are Japanese. He's very Americanized. I'm pretty sure he goes back and forth to Japan with his family very frequently.

Hey you did a whole video without saying ladies and gentlemen, proud of you
jokebaker22 he did lol, 8:24, hate to break it to ya
8:10 8:24
It’s not the suspension , it’s obviously something on the drivetrain
Mr S it is not. he is right
stop driving a 30 year old car like its new just a thought love u tho good show
6:08
Gordon wtf are you on about in that clip
That's a 348 and two 360s, not a 355 and two f430s lol
Not a big deal though
Great content, as always !
Hahaha holy shit I must've been out of it, thanks!
Replace that expensive hydraulic suspension with
Coil-overs and save yourself money and the headaches...
MrMaxyield Plus W140’s look really good with a nice slightly lowered suspension. Especially if he gets some decent wheels for it soon
Definitely! That was going to be the next "mod" along with new wheels and possibly the AMG kit...but whoops.
If he does that he’s definitely going to need to put a sway bar In along with it
No mention of the ultra rare Rolls Royce Carmague at 5:34
That's baller!
damieg82 what a great spot sir
5:34 that’s a Rolls Royce Camargue. One of only 531 produced and at the time the worlds most expensive production car.
bentleyspotter the S70 is one of 18.
Is this the Fast and Furios parking garage at 11:28
thought the same

6:20 that’s not a 430, both are 360:s 😁🤘🏼
And not a 355 but a 348, too
6:46 also not a nismo gtr
Get rid of that Mercedes hydraulic suspension, and get some coilovers for that big girl..
J.M.G yup. Big old gal
Adding that to the list. The car was supposed to be exported but....hm
We do love Japan vlogs from Effspot, please keep it going.

Damn rollin in a century with snoop dogg meme song.
11:01 for the E60 M5 fans
rip headphone users :)
6:08 348* actually ;) (on 360 wheels it seems?)
Sell the exhaust for 12.000 And buy another And make And make 11.500 exhaust.
Iv an Lmfao 😂

@5:52 Magnum sent Mr. Master's car to the auction?! Higgins wont be happy 😂 also at 6:08 that's a 348 man
And 2 360s, not f430s lol
Magnum drove several versions of the 308 but never a 328, which this is :-)
@@Benjamin_Boxall lmao I didnt even catch that!
@@bert308gts good info!
I actually know a guy with an S70 AMG, should I make a vid?
If it actually is one then yes!
Imad S yup I believe there were 18 made in total and this is one from Mercedes in Japan.
YES

You should put a bigger radiator in with coolant overflow
Hope you can repair the oil leak... that auction site of what I understand it’s an American Cars on re selling place it’s totally amazing. Hope soon here in Mexico can we get something similar!
The auction in Manheim, PA is about as big, less the amount of exotics. They do have exotics but not as many.
I just can't believe you spend arm and leg on exhaust system on your Mercedes s600.
Hook up with Tyler Hoover and sell it to him haha.
I hope it's not the end of this cool car, they are slowly becoming more and more collectable.
You should ask Mr. Sashimi if he can do a brilliant exhaust on a r129 600sl with the same m120 engine

Could be an oil pan gasket, notorious on older german cars

effspot your welcome, oil leaks are common on w140, especially you often floor the car hahahaha, btw check out my instagram : rocky leung photography
It's Coilovers time bitch 🔥
When does the v12 arrive in cali ?
Get rid of that ugly stupid eye sore and GET THE F TYPE BACK!!!
Looks like its coming from the hydraulic fluid for the suspension, mine is airmatic but that could be the culprit I think
Probably just a rear main seal for the oil leak. Not a huge deal.
We do have Manheim in the US though, but you need a dealer license to buy
I like this car vlog so much iam an addict to this vlog keep it up man
Super sad to see the ferrari not running properly.
Hey! No mention of the $12,000 exhaust in the title??
11:24 yo that Century is fuckin DOPE...!!!
Go to Manhiem auction in Texas or California
This is a small operation compared to manhiem
That's the rear main seal because its right between the engine and the transmission i'm sure that's the problem its very old now you should replace all gaskets and seals
9:20 Lumma Design Porsche Cayenne
Pleasseeee you have to repair the s600 this thing is a legend this has to be a project car
11:35 What is the Name of this Parking lot Spot ?
This is like the entire gran turismo 2 library in one location.

He has a $12000 exhaust guys
M5 owner needs to know how to put that smg into S6 and wont have those slow shifts.
Need to get that Sundancer and throw a Stardropper exhaust on it.
Get a W211 E55 for $10k USD. Put on exhaust and a smaller super charger pulley. Boom. 500hp for $13k.
Surprised to hear cantonese
We cheeked the old gauge ahh stick rather haha
That broken suspension probably was the reason this car was sold into export in the first place, sorry to say.. I hope you still enjoy the vehicle though..
My guess is the rear crankshaft seal?
If it is what i think the Oil is comming from the Transmission seal ring i saw a video of a cls 63 with a similiar problem
ua-cam.com/video/yCcJBXaIyzk/v-deo.html
Auction so much better than UKs BCA
Probably just a broken seal somewhere on the oil pan. But because it's an old expensive Mercedes, that will cost you your first born child and some antimatter.
Manheim auction is comparable to what ur seeing. Copart is junkyard cars, salvage titles.
Agreed, I don't think the Manheim auctions are of this size though!
@@effspot I am a 9 car hauler, u should check out manheim in riverside or fontana, might surprise u , I go there often. Maybe not a lot of gtr's but a range of just about everything! Remember, as is & no warranty
Probably the oil pipe to the turbo
Don't forget to clean the oil from the floor...
R.I.P
Amazing car auction! Some cars should be in showrooms!
Same thing happened with the earlier fords and Lincoln's and others of the time yes ive also have seen it on the Mercedes. Just by observation
Can those auction cars be imported to the US?
They must be 25 years old or older to be imported. Then yes.
Any car can be imported into the US. It just needs to meet strict and complex standards set by the EPA and DOT and can get really expensive not making it worth importing. If it’s 25 or older it can be imported no problem
Are these cars in an auction on average cheaper?
6:10 that's a Ferrari 348 with the wrong set of wheels, probably from a Ferrari 360 Modena
I think your have a Car Coma!! Never heard you being speechless before!! LOL Natalie
11:31 are those licence plates custom are do they glow like that stock? I also saw them on the E60. Also most Japan-esque car driven by white dude
You can order official license plates with cutouts that has blue or green translucent plastic that you can glow light trough
I love videos like this, stay safe effspot
The ultra rare rolls Royce you walk past and pay no mind to
A jeep cherokee XJ in japan? Possibly the most rare spotting this whole video.
What about that minivan at 8:14!
Looks like I need to come here to buy my cars...
How much is the exhaust worth?
I miss your Jag too
Is effspot really from Japan?? Or he's just taking a vacation
As far as I can tell he's from California and his parents are Japanese. He's very Americanized. I'm pretty sure he goes back and forth to Japan with his family very frequently.
So that means he's an immigrant in usa
@@menaceastro4241 Only if he was not born in the US, Most likely he's the child of immigrants. Same as most Americans.
Man that really sucks man :/ 500 for that exhaust?
now it's broken you can sell this car to hoovies.
Maybe that e500 is the car you should have bought instead of the S Class.
were all the cars in the sales lots LHD? were there many RHD?
If you look closely like 99% of the cars are RHD, since it's obviously Japan
did VTEC kicked in too much?
Sell the exhaust to jr garage, they're restoring one.
My Mercedes S600 with a $12000 exhaust is Completely Broken
.......there i fixed the title for you
not gonna lie, looks better lowered like that
I totally forgot he had an F type lol. Damn!
the lease was up last year and he gave it back to the dealership
FAST Food Pit Stops yeah I know. Lol I just forgot about it until he showed the white jaguar in the video.
Oh shit, I think your car has coronavirus
Gordon what happened to your channel? Go back to rodeo drive
That BMW tho!
Your comments are great I laugh my ass off
How much is that w140 S70 AMG cost in USD?
Id say just trash it not worth putting more money in it
