Hi all,
I am new to this site but not new to mechanical things. My situation is my 1983 240D has an oil leak coming out of the instrument cluster. The oil tube going to the oil pressure gauge isn't leaking outside of the cluster. The oil is inside coming out the bottom of the cluster and traveling down the steering column onto the brake pedal. I haven't taken the cluster out yet. I have reached up and tightened the 10mm nut of the oil pipe going into the cluster but no luck. Does this pipe continue to the gauge? (Stupid question), but the reason I ask is that I want to order the right part, so does the oil pipe continue into the cluster or is there something inside the cluster that needs replacing?

Also, who do you all order parts from? I have a local Mercedes aficionado here in Taos, NM but would like to order direct from a parts place. I have used the Benz Bin and Mercedesource and one other I can't remember right now.

Thanks all, great site. Love to read all the posts,
Ted
