I got $75 for my wrecked 300d body and had to haul it myself. I'd say take the $100, especially if they pick it up!

I've taken them out and put them back in numerous times without changing the gasket without seepage. Should be smooth and crack free though.

Also, change the o-rings on the oil filter shaft. I seem to recall that they prevent leakdown that can increase the fill time on startup. When they wear out, more oil needs to be pumped to fill the...

I didn't present it clearly, the drop from 12-14 to 5 I reported was all on diesel. Psi on WVO has consistently been in the 20-22 range. The filters are separate and I've never actually had a clogged...

With that I agree. I think sort of a spritz spritz sound that tells you fuel is passing the overflow. For the sucking air leaks just start by retightening all the clamps.
