I am a new member to your Forum. Your Forum is very professional and very interesting.
I have an inquiry for the experts on this site.
I just bought a 1997 E320 with 60K on the odometer , The pervious owner is a friend that works overseas and hardly uses the car. A month later after I Bought the car, I noticed small oil Traces in the front lower part of the engine around the pulley of the crank shaft. It seems like the Crank Shaft front seal is gone. I wanted to take it back to the MB service station when time permits.
Any idea how that would have happened?
Is changing this Crank shaft front seal is a big job that requires to take the engine to bits?
Any rough idea about the cost $$$ for changing the seal at the dealer?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
