I need to revisit this. I was remembering a combo of my S550 and E63. They both have the centrifuge cover that can leak. The M278 has the vacuum pump. I don't remember if it has cam inspection covers.

Now we know it does. Common issue.

Most common would be centrifuge cover (pass side) and there are two other rear cam inspection covers that are plastic and just snap on. Also take a look at the vacuum pump (driver's side). If the centrifuge cover and cam covers are original they are overdue.
That thing I said.
