Are you sure it's the front seal? The nippondenso on one of my W126s turned out to have the 2 high pressure o-rings in the Top Hat (my term - see picture) blown and my other W126 has a bad o-ring for the refrigerant hoses attachment to the top hat. Once the system is empty of refrigerant (either by leaks or recovery), then this is a DIY repair. I put six (6) o-rings ($3) into my 560SEL five years ago and it cools nicely in Vegas today. Worth a try.
