My foam drain hoses were disintegrated on my 1995 E320.
If the leak is bad enough in the evaporator, you will see some dye dripping off the drain hoses (provided they are functional).
My bet is that you need a new evaporator.
I removed the transmission, rebuilt it (my first auto rebuild), and reinstalled about 2 years ago.
I then replaced the evaporator. It was a lot of work removing the dash and everything involved. If I had the choice, I think that I would pick the transmission job over the evaporator replacement.

Having said that, I know that you can handle it. Just be prepared for a lot of hours inside your Benz.
