yea, they do sometimes have head gasket problems but its usually oil
burning very badly, as in, blowing out the back. In that case, the
gasket blows out between #1 and the timing chain area. Never see one
burning coolant though.

Hello -
My 91 300D 2.5T needs about a 1/2 quart of coolant every 2 months
or so. Do these engines have a history of head gasket leaks? I
suspect the water pump is weeping a little after 170K miles or so. I
have a new pump but haven't been sufficiently "moved" to replace
it. But soon it will be time to replace the coolant and that will
be a good time to pull the radiator (I think it needs to come out to
get to the pump, right?) and do a little maintenance.
But if the head gasket needs to be replaced I have some parts to
buy...
TIA -
