onehundred80, by rocker cover, do you mean cam cover? I'll recheck it. but I did my best to clean both the cover itself and around the edges.

There are times when I don't check something first. Okay, there are a lot of times I don't check thoroughly first before making assumptions. In this case it was the steering pump, so felt it deserved its own thread - which it didn't.

Being on another major forum, I'm aware it is a no-no to post in two different places. However - and I've not done this ...yet - say I'm looking for info on a head unit. Logic says to go the the audio, electrical, etc. forum. but there are a lot more folks that are frequently on the XF Coupe forum. I have to admit, I find it hard not to post both places since the thread gets more eyeballs that way.

You, along with others, show up on most every forum I've been on. But I'm sure that a lot of members just go to the forum for their specific model. Then go to say the Engine forum, only when they have a specific engine problem.

Perhaps it is my lack of keying in the 'correct' term/terms on Search, but seldom has anything shown up that fits the info I need. An example of the one time it worked was the small cam cover thread. Whereas, I can't find a thing on the A/C compressor. I even visited a couple of Mercedes forums which catered to SLK320's and they also had nothing on A/C compressors - however, since I wasn't a member, perhaps it ignored my request.

I just want that danm oil leak to go away as quickly as possible.
