W222 Mercedes Benz S550 Oil Leak Problem Discussion

So I bought this 2014 Mercedes S550 without knowing the common oil leak issue. What other issues are you familiar with with this motor? With this make and model? With this transmission?

I’m having some oil leakage on my w221.. seems like it’s from the oil filter housing. Guessing bad gasket

Mines just started leaking what was the problem?

Some seals or gaskets in the front. Required a lot of removal. I paid $1500 to replace everything. Some coolant or oil lines crumbled in the process. Had to be replaced. The leak was so bad, I don’t ask which gaskets specifically. Just wanted them replaced.

the cam cover needs the gaskets replaced due to the oil seeping onto the alternator. I suggest changing all coolant tubing because they are plastic connectors, and this car has issues with the cam sensors sucking in oil and the oil seeping into the wiring harness. Theres vids out there about those things. I'm not sure about the other oil leaks.
