Re: 1988 560SEL HYDRAULIK OEL reservoir

Karl,

I was on a 2000 mile trip last week.  At about the 1500 mile mark, I
noticed the fluid level in my load leveler was down about a pint.  I
added a pint of oil.  I checked for leaks, but did not see any drops
on the struts or near the valve in the rear.

Now today after I unloaded my car the fluid level is back up over the
full mark.

I checked on a pump and Auto Hauz of Arizona has them for $999.  Is
there any way to renew the seal if it turns out I am getting leakage
to the crankcase?

Thanks.
