Oil can leak into the engine wiring harness from the camshaft sensor. If the leaky sensor is not repaired, the oil can migrate through the wires and possibly damage the engine control unit. Have the sensor and harness checked regularly.

Oil leaking into wiring harness from CAM sensor I am told by my mechanic today. I did find online however that this is a RECALL issue for this car and I am now taking into the Benz Dealer for repair and hope the Engine Check light goes off. This car has run perfectly since day one and really doesn't even appear to be running poorly with the light on. I run it on synthetic Mobil One 5-40 and change it regularly.
