yes folks i have discovered yet another leak!!! this time it is coming from the front side of the engine up mid to top passenger side (i think timing cover). i dont wanna hear any headgasket talk dammit!! i changed my coolant over the weekend and no oil residue and vice versa. im kinda hoping the dealership screwed up when they told me i have a crank seal leak and that it is this leak dripping over the crank. from what i hear timing cover is a bit easier, possibly a DIYer?? i swear i am going to know every possible point of leakage on the m104 before the summertime. so has anyone done this?

i read article on mercedesshop.com on m103 timing cover reseal, same procedure here? minus distrubuter of course. i just wanna know if this is something i can handle and for 15 bucks for seals it beats takin it to the shop. what kind of sealant do you guys recommend

Front cover gasket needs to be replaced.

Upper and lower seals leak on this engine. Pretty common leak.
