bad oil leak 300D..
i have a 300d '82 with a messy oil leak
the last mechanic who attempted to fix this problem had the car for a while and struggled, and i'm still dripping oil everywhere i go maybe someone else has had this experience with the same car? i don't have a lot of money to burn on this problem. i could use some advice. even if it's just how to best clean up the oil puddles under the carport.. |

maybe some description of which end the engine the leak is on?
or take some pictures. tons of things leak on this car. the turbo seals, the air filter drain tube, the valve cover, the front and rear main seals, the power steering pump, tons of other things.
I would pressure wash the entire thing, as best as you can, then look for where the oil is forming. as for cleaning up the carport, put down some dry comet, cover with cardboard and in a few days wet it down, then scrub it in. and put new cardboard down to keep wicking out the oil. John

Where is the oil leak? Have you washed and degreased the engine so you can pin point exactly where it is located?
