Since you have to be an investment banker, despotic leader of a third world

MB uses a mineral based hydraulic oil that is pretty much odorless. Same thing
in my SL500 top hydraulics as in the 600.
Tastes nasty, though.

First SL500 I looked at had a clear fluid dripping from the right rear fender
cavity drain.
Hmm.
Touch and rub it between fingers. Not greasy or oily.
Hmm. Taste.

standard model, as it would be loaded with bells, whistles and subsystems that
can not be hand crafted in the manner one could with a Grosser.
