I discovered the wick on my first benz, th 61 220b, when I was in Morrocco, IIRC. The bearing started howling and i looked and found it. I pulled the dipstick and got the felt soggy and dropped a few drops into the shaft and went on down the road.
That car had some fairly unorthedox power assistance on the brakes. I lost all brakes once when it got a bit low on fluid, IIRC.
A good learning experience.
When I got back in the states I got my 62 190c fintail and drove it for about 80k miles.
The love affair began there.
