Its the first thing to try anyway.
Anybody know the size? I'd rather buy a piece of hose first than yank it and
take the shredded nasty remnants to size up...

As I recall
Yes, good test. Then shut off the engine, and take a mirror and look
at the underside of the water pump. Another method is to get all 4
wheels up on blocks, then crawl under with a small flashlight, and
look for a stream of water.(this can be done with the engine
running. )

Rusty sells it for about $15.
My records show it's part number 900-271-042012
and is applicable for OM616 and OM617 engines with new style,
vertical thermostat, with bypass and snowman seal.

Thanks Phillip!
I'll see what FLAPS has tomorrow.

Took a look at my 240D tonight to see if I can figure out where the coolant
loss is occuring. I filled it back up and went for a spin to warm it up. When I
got back the only place I could definitely see coolant is from the overflow
tube. I'd filled it right to the top so a little overflow seems
I've had the best luck finding leaks by filling the system, getting the
engine up to operating temp, and looking for the stream of water while the
engine is still running.

Best to use a pressure tester, as many leaks only happen when there
is pressure in the system.
Check the radiator cap, and seat, but likely if you loose coolant
this time of year it's not a poorly sealing cap. Won't get hot
enough to fully pressurize (or boil).
Look in the BOTTOM weep
#2 the little stub hose under the thermostat housing. It looks quite
suspicious. IIRC its a strange size, anybody know it? The one there is
really nasty, years of oil dripping on it haven't done it any favors...
That's often to blame, because it's harder to replace than
the others and out of
