- - 1986 2.3-16V: Self-Leveling Pump Rebuild Kit? (http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/tech-help/6598-1986-2-3-16v-self-leveling-pump-rebuild-kit.html)

When I purchased my 1986 2.3-16V about a month ago, the self-leveling system fluid reservoir was empty. Now I know why; at my shop, the tech added fluid and started the motor -- YOW! :eek: fluid started spurting from the pump (from the gasket between pump body "halves", not pump and engine).

Question: Is there a "rebuild" kit available from mercedesshop.com? If so, how much is it and how much time would be involved with having my shop rebuild the pump? I priced a rebuilt unit at $249.00; new at $484.00!

Thanks for any input!
