Q: Leak 2003 Mercedes s600

asked by on July 20, 2017

Hi Patrick I just bought a 2003 Mercedes s600. The hydraulics have been changed to regular suspension. I was told it is for the overflow tank for that system. The tank was full and now it is empty. There is fluild leaking in the area of the drivers tire. Any thought?

My car has 60900 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
