M103 front main...
Am I able to change this with the front cover still on the motor?

Yeah, just like an old Chevy - hard to get the old one pried out, but the new one just pushes in.

Ah, no specific tools?
Perhaps my oil consumption isn't as bad as I thought.

I resealed everything on that boy, stem seals, upper timing case, etc. No external leaks. And the trans was resealed right before I bought the the 300sel. Only thing I didn't do was the front main seal. And the seepage is quite obvious.

Just use a pick and a plastic wedge to pry the old out?

Hitman, my factory engine manual says to use a screwdriver to just pry the seal out, with a rag to protect the crank. there is an install tool 601589031400, but it's just a big washer/spacer that you put over the seal and screw on with the damper bolt. A little oil and some gentle pushing around the seal will do the same job.
If you are losing all the oil you mentioned above through that seal, it would make a pretty big mess under the car. A quart goes a very long way when it is dripping and running underneath the chassis. DG |
