What type of Mercedes? If it has a straight six with about 100K miles then
the head gasket typically needs to be replaced.

This is a silly answer to a silly question...

The correct answer is to wash and wipe down the engine and then WATCH
the engine daily and locate the source of the oil.

Once you have done this, then you will have enough information to
figure out where to start.

PS That isn't to say the head gasket isn't a common issue on the
straight six :~)
