Re: I think I've sprung a leak :-(
Woke up this morning and the oil "pool" was not any worse. Took the chance and drove the car around my development to see if there was any change or additional splatter while driving, and no change (to my eye).
Brought it to my MB mechanic and he assured me that it was the dipstick. He said the o ring is fine and that I probably knocked it out a bit while installing the intake. He capped off the oil and sent me on my way. The car will sit in my garage till Sunday as I'm going away, but should be all good.
Never would've thought that could shoot that much oil. Apparently with the amount of pressure these cars have, it's definitely possible. He said there's nothing else in that area that could leak oil like that, especially since my valve cover gaskets are brand new.
I'll keep an eye on it, but for now definitely breathing sigh of relief!
As usual, thanks for all the help!
