Needing your advice /o/
Have an S65 AMG here, can't work out whats leaking.
There are no problems in terms of drive with the suspension, corners great and the lower/lift button still raises and lowers the car equally.
A line seems to terminate next to the strut but have no idea what that is either.
The dirty fluid is colored green and is quite thick.
Any ideas?

the line looks like an a/c line and service port.

a/c oil is usually dyed green.

No fucking clue why an a/c service port would be down there, and disclaimer I know nothing at all about mercedes.

Checked it for leaks with blue light and nothing showed, any ideas why there would be green oil on it?

If those lines are leaking, then why is there more oil on the opposite side of the strut?

None of us can work it out, could the line and the strut be leaking? if so, any idea what color the hydraulic fluid in the shocks is?

what do you mean you "checked for leaks"?

For one, there obviously is a leak, and the lines are certainly wet.

The lines themselves might not be leaking, it could just be the service port valve is leaking. I don't know if the oil on the strut is related or a different issue.

Not all a/c oil actually reacts a u/v light, if that's what you mean by a "blue light".
