John, thats not we here refer to as a leak. The 103 engines "seep" oil around the front top cover, an annoying but not serious problem. Look back to the posts of the last few days any you will find this very discussion on the front cover. My 190 E 2.6 which has a similiar engine has seeped around the front cover for a couple of years. I will repair it when the water pump needs to be replaced. The problem is that the engine gets a little oily. ( like to keep my engine clean) It is a realtively easy and inexpensive fix. Good Luck.

JDUB,
Thanks for your response. I'm happy that this leak is not as major as originally thought. Thanks.
