    I absolutely adore your videos. Attention to detail, without the rambling, no cutesy bs, just the facts and all of them. Part numbers, tools, procedure, perfect. Even us 'old timers' that have worked on all of our own equipment/vehicles for over 50 years, learn from your process. Thank you very much and please keep it up. Oh, btw, just a note on todays economics, that 46mm 12pt is now 22.98 (sure the smaller ones are still a similar old price, but not this one), the 1 13/16 Socket still 19.99. Once again, thank you for such a concise, no nonsense video, should be the bar used for others.

    Your editing skill, calming voice, attention to detail, presentation skill are simply out-of-this world. All repair shops, master technician, shop foreman should look up to you ! You inspire me to work on my M113 5.4L oil leak issue.
    I have been using "oil is cheap, engine is not" to deal with my oil leaking issue because I have been topping off for years. However, it's to the point where my driveway is black, slippery, gooey so your video motivates me. You also solve the oil pressure test port rubber gasket mystery because there are TWO versions and you show both side-by-side clearing all my doubts when ordering parts.
    THANK YOU again for this thorough start-to-finish instruction. It should be everyone's quick reference guide solving M112 / M113 oil leaking. Wishing you a happy & prosperous New Year in 2023. You earn a subscriber today and more & more years to come !

I have a technical background in another field, which has helped me learn/understand machine repair in general, and I have a little background in other systems. Mostly I have been taught by others (including via UA-cam!) certain basic and specialized techniques, and I like to read repair manuals and other technical documents. My video style is intended to show each step so that repairs are less intimidating. I try to share what I have been taught with others so that we can all learn to do our own DIYs and save money! : ) Thanks for watching!

    the oil condenser/cooler bolts are tri-lobe, trilobular type. as if self-drilling. the same type in the water pump, when you wondered about the threads in the water pump, why they are like that. that you can't remove and attach them very often, they eat away the material and then you need to use a helicoil or similar to repair and change the type of bolts

      ​@@waynegomillion4976 Yes, I believe so - I'm not familiar with every configuration, but if your set up looks like what's shown in the video, it will be the same process. For example, here's a forum entry from an '01 ML55 owner, and everything looks the same as the M113 shown in the video:
      www.benzworld.org/threads/2001-ml55-amg-oil-cooler-seal-replacement-made-easy.3111140/
      Also, according to FCP Euro's fitment guide, the part numbers are also the same:

    Hi L35, need some guidance please. I stripped a couple of the oil cooler screws into the housing. I just got the replacement part from the dealer but the new housing has no threads? Am I suppose to tap a brand new oil filter housing? This makes wonder if my old housing can be re-tapped, anyone else buy a new housing that can advise?

    • @L35inColorado
      @L35inColorado  4 місяці тому

      I'm sorry that I missed your comment! If you're still working on this, inspect the fasteners that connect the oil cooler to the housing. I believe those four fasteners are "tri-lobular" or "tap-tites", which is a type of self-tapping screw that has a threaded shaft which is not circular in cross-section, but rather is tri-lobular.
      If that is the case, then you can just use the original screws to self-tap the new housing - or, as you mentioned, you can simply re-tap your old housing and set up to a slightly larger size. If you can find some self-tapping screws that will fit (there's not a lot of room on the head side of the bolt, which is perhaps why MB used cap heads instead of hex heads), then you can also just clean up the old holes and see if the slightly larger self-tapping screws will hold.
      Here are some pics from an MB forum which show the tri-lobular shape of the screws, for comparison:

    Hi I think your videos are very clear and easy instructions to follow very well explained. I replaced all the seals on the filter housing replaced everything back with the appropriate torque specifications but there is a little oil still dripping down on to the compressor bolt that you showed in the video could that be the old oil still dripping down not sure what is your opinion

    • @L35inColorado
      @L35inColorado  11 місяців тому

      Thanks! Hopefully it is just some let over oil: there is a surprisingly large amount of oil that collects behind the belt tensioner when the oil cooler leaks, and it often takes a while (many engine heating cycles) to work it's way done. Even if you remove the belt tensioner and clean up what you can, there will still be some old oil in the nooks which will take a week or more of routine driving to drip down. I would clean it up and just keep an eye on it: hopefully you'll find that it is old oil slowing working it's way down. I hope that helps : ) Thanks for watching!

      I still had the leak after a while the problem was I managed to cross thread one of the housing bolts and it wasn't tight enough tightening it more made it worse to where it wasn't gripping anymore so I had to purchase a replacement filter housing and do it all again now there are no leaks after 3 weeks all dry I was such a fool to cross thread the bolt I'm usually very observant when it comes to screwing bolts back in but not that time lol.

    Hello.
    I have an 06 ml500 with w113 engine.
    I changed the five leak points mentioned in this video as well as the valve cover gasket.
    There still seems to be an oil leak which seems to come out of the first spark plug well at the front of the car.
    All the plugs and coils were replaced.
    When I pull the wire on that plug, the well is dry !!!
    Any idea where my oil leak is coming from???
    When I turn the car on within 10 mins there is what seems to be oil leaking from that plug well on the t he exhaust manifold at a constant drip so constant that within another 5 mins you can see oil smoke coming from the engine.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    • @L35inColorado
      @L35inColorado  Рік тому

      I'm sorry I missed your comment - the first and easiest thing I would check is that I'd first make sure that what appears to be a leak is not actually some old oil that collected in a high spot that is just dripping down, and not leaking from the engine itself. There are so many nooks and crannies on the top of M113 that it is possible for oil (especially if the breather covers were leaking) to collect into high, little spots. That old oil then heats up once the engine warms and it drips down, which can appear to be a new leak. So, since we can't clean up all those little areas because they are too difficult to reach, I would clean up the oil as it appears, and see if it doesn't taper off over a couple weeks.
      Have you tried that?

      The socket shown in the video is a 46mm (12:09), but you can also use a 1-13/16" socket, as shown at 13:32. The main consideration is to use a thin-walled socket that fits inside, without hammering or damaging the housing. I hope that helps - thanks for watching! : )
