Any Forum Member in SE Georgia?

Anyone live near Statesboro, Savannah, area?
I need a competent person to look at our '83 300D re. a huge oil leakage problem.
I just read this thread & the solution is way over my head:
W123 300d Oil Leak......
Thanks!

I posted a link to the 126 FSM. A $60 or less gasket set will pretty much take care of it. You basically unbolt, install new gaskets and reinstall. Only jack stands and hand tools are required. Where is it leaking?

According to our son's report from the foreign car garage it's the head gasket.

That sounds pretty logical seeing as how it sounds like all the other gaskets/seals have been changed out. That is about all that is left.
