Thanks Don,
I will give the shorter bolt a try along with locktite or a copper crush
washer and see if it helps.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Oil leak in front of engine
I don't remember exactly which bolts were involved, but when I removed
the compressor bracket, I had to use spacers - some where about half
an inch thick - to compensate for the lack of the bracket's thickness.
On retrospect - it would have been easier to get a new bolt that was
half an inch shorter --- might be your situation.

Problem; Oil appears to be leaking at a very slow rate (uses about a
quart and 1/2 between changes) from the bolt that holds the alternator
tension adjuster to the block. The bolt is tight as it will go and
there is about a 3/8" play between the block the adjuster and the bolt.
The adjuster moves back and forth from the front to the back on the bolt.
Is something missing on the bolt/adjuster assembly that would cause this
leak?
I noticed leak after the AC Compressor and mount were removed.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
