"requires a pretty advanced DIYer"
My indy is pretty good about telling me what I can and
can't do myself - he knows the limitations of my
skills - and he recommended against my trying this.
It must sound easier than it is.

The hatch lid of a 124.193 had a latching motor. That's all it does -
latch the hatch. These are pretty reliable - as long as the plug doesn't
drop out...
The hatch has struts that's supposed to hold it open. There have been
several posts about replacing the struts - requires a pretty advanced
DIYer, but can be done. May require a specialty wrench - maybe 12 point
or Torx - not sure - different years might have different heads.

A few observations:
1. there is oil in both vacuum lines going to the ignition
2. the oil dripped on the lower plastic panel
3. the oil dripped onto the carpet
4. the car will not turn off with the key unless while driving you run the
heat (only defrst works - NONE of the other buttons do anything, except off)
and then when done driving turn the defrost off, wait 30 seconds, then the key
will turn the car off
5. door locks don't work at all
6. transmission shifts EXTREMELY smoothly, so that part of the vacuum system
must be working fine
7. no other vacuum lines have oil in them
8. This is a 1980 300D with 113,000 miles
Is it possible the vacuum pump is leaking oil only into 2 lines? Perplexed.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Not this week Kevin. I will keep an eye out for possible inexpensive
engines at the PnP. For $150 you get everything that is attached to
the block. have to get there first thing so that it is not attacked by
monkeys who strip what is not nailed down.
