This is your problem. In my 82 wagon when I bought it that same line was broken. The car was sluggish. Though it was my first MB diesel so I had no idea how it was supposed to drive. You'll need a banjo bolt. It's a hollow bolt with holes in it that coincide with the banjo fitting on the end of the hard line. Find a local junkyard, you should be able to find that bolt in any diesel with a trubo from the late 70's to mid 80's should have them. 116, 123, or 126.
Edit: Should have read the whole post, you've already got it solved. Though I'm glad I had the right prognosis.
