leak at tranmission filler tube
I changed the starter in the 300TD last weekend and must have been too rough on the filler tube b/c I developed a pretty big transmission fluid leak.
I tightened up the drain plug and the banjo bolt, but it still appears to be leaking. Is there an o-ring replacement at the dealership, or is it one that I can get at a local hardware store? I saw someone post that the dealer charges $90 for a replacement filler tube (which means mine will probably charge $120), or I could get a replacement at the junkyard, but I would like to go the cheapest/easiest route first....

0169972948 Transmission Filler Tube; O-Ring for Transmission Filler Tube
NO O-ring size was given. When I looked at one of the russian part sites you need to know the transmission number in order to bring up the correct Transmission to look at the parts. They are not listed by vehicle. The one pic I looked at showed 4 different tubes but only 2 O-ring so I guess the O-ring works on all. The Diesel Giant sight shows where to find the Transmission Number. Mine is on the passanger side and it is hard to see because of the Exhaust Pipe.
