I replaced the DV seals on my W201, 2.2L when I first got it due to diesel leaking from the top of the IP. I wasn't sure it was DV seals but it didn't take much forum reading to discover these were a known culprit. I'm about the same level of DIYer as yourself and I didn't find it too challenging. I didn't remove the intake manifold but if you do, it will be a simple repair. I would advise to carefully clean the area before starting as the top of the IP is flat and it would be really easy to get some debris in the system. Use ample amounts of brake cleaner and compressed air before starting.
Good luck and enjoy your 190. I find mine is growing on me.
