Already replaced the seal for the chain tensioner, immediately after the head was installed and the first seal leaked because I wasn't careful and let the seal get cock-eyed while tightening.
The other possible leakers I can think of are the vacuum pump/gasket and the timing case cracking at the serpentine belt tensioner mount. I may put some newspaper or cardboard under it in the driveway and spray a couple cans of brake cleaner to wash off the front of the engine, that may be enough to locate the leak. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On August 13, 2015 7:55:33 PM EDT, Jim Cathey via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >Dude!
