'85 300D oil leak at head gasket??
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a newbie here and just acquired this beautiful machine with 215,000 miles. Trying to get her running great. See huge quantities of an old/current oil leak in back of engine on passenger side. The sludge is piled high all the way down to the starter. Took the manifolds off for an inspection/ turbo rebuild and also did a valve adjust. The leak is NOT from the valve cover gasket. My thought now is the head OR the turbo oil line where it is clamped to the motor. I took the clamp off, and can feel a slight nick in the line and also saw oil under the clamp after i pressure washed it as best I could before I took it apart. Is there any way to test that line if I took it off from the oil filer housing? Can it be patched with JB weld if it is leaking? Or am I screwed with a head gasket leak?
The car shows no signs of head gasket problem. Good oil pressure, no smoke. |

it's not totally unheard of, but not common. much more likely from the turbo oil feed line as you've suspected.
