Minor oil leak from rear end on SLK 2001
I noticed a drop of oil in my garage right below the rear end a couple of days ago. I have been keeping an eye on it and has not shown any signs of a leak. If it does can someone tell me how to change the rear end seal. Pics would be great.
Thanks

There are 3 seals. One on the pinion, and one on each axle where the CV's go in.
Drive it backwards up onto ramps and have a look.
Spray with cheap degreaser and hose off. This will make the job easier.
Tell us which one it is.
Also oil has been known to come from diff breather.

Thanks Bazzle,
I wiped it down and has not leaked in 3 days, maybe the oil came from another one of my cars.
I'll keep an eye on it though. Where is the differential breather??
