I have an oil leak coming from the engine on my 110. It's not too bad but is something I would like to get sorted. From what I can see, the oil is coming from somewhere above the oil filter housing, dripping from bottom of oil filter and onto my driveway from bottom of differential casing. Can anyone give me an idea as the the likely culprit(s) for the leak. Cheers

Clean area thoroughly with a solvent then carry out an inspection after a short run

Oil pressure switch/+ copper washer is likely.

Ive got very similar. It seems to come from that area, but then drip off one of the angular peices off the bottom of the engine nearest the sump
I'm laughing as I read these replies as my leak is identical on my 300tdi. I've gone through several combinations of washers for my oil pressure switch but leak still there. Recently purchased a new switch and will try cleaning the area as suggested above then install it and monitor. Kinda hard to troubleshoot that area as it is difficult to see what's going on. Ha, thought I was the only one battling that problem.
