major oil leak

I have a 1983 300d that has a major oil leak coming from the front of the engine. After de-oiling the outside of the engine, I can tell that the oil is coming from near the bottom front of the engine. It is losing approx. 2 quarts a day.


Does anyone have any ideas what may very well be the culprit? Im leaning towards the front main seal, crankshaft seal.... But is there anything else that it could possibly be?

Any advice would be great.


Thank the maker for having a spare car to drive. lol.....
