Any Comments ?

You raise a valid point but fortunately Dad's E320 is nowhere near that bad yet. It is just a slight run down the right side of the engine that drips off below the torque convertor and leaves a small patch of oil in his garage. When the head gasket got bad on our 300TE it was much messier than this with the oil in the coolant eventually forcing me to repair it. I must say that I do enjoy an engine without a single oil leak.
