I'm not sure if there was a leak or just neglect... This is my first MB and I have had it just over a year... Although I did Dieselgiant's "Extreme Makeover" soon after I got it, I had *never checked the fluid level in the SLS.

We were driving to San Diego for a soccer tournament last night and the left rear wheel was rubbing on something when we pulled out of a rest stop. The rear of the car looked *really low to me... So I checked the SLS reservoir and it was quite low. I had some ATF in the back (nothing else) so I used it.

I'm pretty sure the SLS has been low for as long as I have had the car because the difference in the ride quality and attitude is huge now.
