also it seems my injector pump diaphram is shot wont hold a vacume... how hard is that to replace also ,, have numerous vac leakes standard stuff for some... right now its a spare project and am determined to make it the diesel backup that I need. Thank you for your consideration

Welcome to the forum David,
I had a leak like this at about 30k miles in my old 300D. The leak was from a crack in the solder at the joint of the bordon tube to the brass fitting. By just melting the joint with a soldering iron the problem was overcome.
The oil gauge on my w124 some times plays up ~ a bad electric connection probably. Have thought about trying to replace it with the one out of the old car.
