In today's episode of Sorted, I will be fixing six oil leaks on my 2005 Mercedes C55 AMG. These jobs apply to about a dozen different models spanning about a decade. Basically, if you have an M112 or M113 engine from about 1997 to about 2008 most of these repairs apply. We will tackle valve cover gaskets, breather chambers, oil cooler seals, the oil filter housing seal, a pressure port seal and I go over the dipstick grommet seal.
I'm super excited to announce a totally free way that anyone can support the channel!! I was approved for an Amazon Influencer account which allows YouTubers like myself, and other creators to earn a small commission from sales generated from people first clicking on my Amazon link, and then buying anything from Amazon. This doesn't cost you a penny as Amazon compensates the creators for driving traffic and sales to the site. So even if you don't buy the product or tool that I link in the video description box, you are still supporting the channel by shopping on Amazon after you clicked through any of my links. Each video will have either specific links to things I use or talk about in the video, or you will see my general LegitStreetCars Amazon link like this. https://www.amazon.com/shop/legitstreetcars
Next time you need car parts, tools, diapers, condoms, fidget spinners or anything on Amazon think of good ole Alex from LegitStreetCars.

I used oil eaters for a cleaning solution and so far so good. Only $40 for a 5-gallon drum on Amazon. You only need about 4 gallons as this is a 4:1 water to cleaner ratio and it's a 20-gallon parts washer. Takes 5 minutes to build.
