Thanks for the info Charlie , I have to put a small list together on the parts I am going to order to get these small leaks fixed ...it is going to be driven ... not in the snow .
I have other vehicals to drive and with the high fuel prices I will be riding the motorcycles more than the diesel powered cars and trucks .
The mercedes service book was stamped up to 50K and after that the car was driven and oil changed ...it was just a spare car on a big estate for the cook to drive .
I'm one that takes care of my toys , this will little 300CD will get treated right ....and hopefully she treats me right .
Thanks again

greg
