Okay, I will check that out. I have it up on jackstands now so tomorrow or the next day I will get all the oil cleaned off it and take a better look.

I am seriously considering restoring this car. It is in excellent shape and has never been wrecked. No rust as I live in CO. Like I said I am extremely pleased with it. If it is just the line from the head to the oil sump I will most likely just fix that and keep driving for awhile. But if it is the front main seal I will most likely have the engine pulled and have a valve job done and have the transmission checked out at the same time. Then while it is out I might replace all the rubber bushings and motor mounts. I am extremely happy with this engine and having talked to many MB entusiasts they all speak very high of the M110.

Thanks again for your help. I will let you know what I find - should be a couple of days.
