Re: W124, 300D, 602.962
Just this weekend I noticed a slow motor oil leak from the bottom of my IP. I have isolated it to the bottom
plate, which attaches with 4 or 6 small bolts. EPC shows that there is a seal of some kind (flat or o-ring)
that probably is the problem in my case.
I haven't located a source for this part yet, which is
"#A0049971340 - Seal Ring, Lower".
It is # 370 shown below.
Simplest fix would be to see if the fasteners are a little loose and try to snug them up a bit. If that does not
work I will need to remove the plate and install a new seal.
No parts are retained by the plate that I need to watch for I hope?
Are the bolts Torx head?
Has anyone encountered this problem yet and where can I get the part?
Thanks.
