Ignition coils got oil in them from oil cooler leak had to replace main ecm both coils rear main seal o2 sensor

This is a very common problem on the CL 600s '01, '02 and I suspect later models too. It is a $9000 repair. So put on your big boy pants. Mine has had the issue for a few years now, and my Mercedes service manager has told me to simply drive the car and not worry about it...unless I'm seeing oil in the garage floor. Which I don't. My main concern is having the car leave me, which my mechanic assures me it won't do...but of course if the oil cooler leak becomes worse, it will have to be fixed. I'm told the oil cooler leak is typically a slow leak. And to repair is a lengthy and costly repair given where they seals are on the engine. Under everything else! I bought the car new and truly love it. It is still brand new. Smells new. I hate to have to get rid of it over repairs. It's paid for. I was hopeful I would enjoy the car for many years given my low mileage. I hate the thought of putting $9000 into a repair that is now half the value of the car. But what's the cost of going out and buying something new to sit in the garage and lose even more money?...now where are those pants?
