If the tranny has over 150k miles then I would rebuild it. The rubber that is failing for one seal is the same age as all the other seals inside and out.
Proper front seal replacement including the pump O-ring require partial disassembly anyway. Right at about half the labor to do the whole thing. Its like rolling the dice. Odds are it will be apart within 50-75k for something else if not sonner. ------------------ Steve Brotherton Owner 24 bay BSC Bosch Master, ASE master L1 26 years MB technician |

Front seals do leak, yes it is common.
If the tranny is shifting well, I'd do the front pump reseal with a rear main seal while there and let it roll. ------------------ Benzmac: Donnie Drummonds 1992 500E (very soon I hope 1981 280GE SWB ASE CERTIFIED MASTER AUTO TECHNICIAN SERVICE MANAGER FOR 14 BAY FACILITY MERCEDES SPECIALIST 8 YRS PARTNER IN MERCEDESSHOP.COM |
