When I get a "new" old Mercedes one of the first things I do is inspect all the hoses and clamps. I have found bad upper hoses due to rubbing on 2 cars. I have never found a bad heater hose, but I have found numerous hose clamps to be loose and leaking. From the looks of it, those are the original factory hose clamps, which means they probably haven't been tightened in 21 years.
