There are a lot of these leaks happening right now. You have four fuel lines coming from/to the fuel filter and the injection pump. Three of them you can replace yourself in the driveway without removing the intake manifold, the fourth one requires removal of the intake manifold. The cost for the three lines is about $40 at the dealer. The fuel lines on your car will be black, the new lines from the dealer are white/clear with one line fitting replaced by a banjo bolt (the pump already has threads in there).

I replaced my three lines in the driveway without removal of intake, only to have the fourth start leaking two weeks later. The point? You can do this yourself and get going again without too much trouble. Or you can pay the $300 and have him go at it and do all the lines. $300 is fair ($120 list price for the parts, $200 for labor probably - he'll have to remove the intake).

When I took my '95 to my MB mechanic for the fourth line leak, he had four other w124s in there leaking too.
