Greetings to all!
I am new to Mercedes with a 1988 260e. I purchased this car about a month ago using only my knowledge of domestic and Japanese cars to make a buying decision. Silly me! LOL..

After sorting through many issues with the help of the "Tech Info" and searching these forums, I have an issue that I cant seem to figure out a search term for.

If I crank the car and do not bring it up to operating temp, it will leak coolant from the drivers side of the engine behind the accesories (wp, Sp, etc.). I cant get in there to really see anything.

The funny thing is all I have to do is go for a drive and it will stop leaking. Not to leak again until I crank it for just a minute. Like to back the car out of the garage.

I did just complete a Head gasket job. The car did this before and I replaced the water pump "O" rings and hose while I was there. I saw no indications the pump itself was leaking.




Any Ideas?
Thanks
