Looking at around $2k to fix. Ugh, I only paid $1100 for the car.
Should I proceed? Or sell/junk?

Find another shop. Man those guys must be smoking some awsome stuff!
Firstly if the W123 is anything like my W126's the tank slides right out through the trunk.
Secondly tanks from junkyard cars can be had for nothing or darn close to nothing.
Thirdly I'd be surprised if its leaking because almost none of the tank is exposed. More likely one of the soft lines is leaking or one of the hard lines is.
More work is needed in narrowing down this leak.
