It`s easy to update to the later style. go to the JY, PNP etc... and pull one from a 82 to 85 300D. I know for sure 84 & 85 have them. Just a simple R&R. I installed one on the 80 240D. never leaks or causes me any trouble. when it does weep, I just change the "O" rings. I probly should change at every filter change, but don`t.

I think the "O" rings are a better design than the crush washers. after while they gouge into the aluminium seat of the housing causing it to seal w/o a ton of force on the bolt to stop the leak.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
