I just has my 1981 300D in for service and asked the mechanic to look into a transmission fluid leak that started several months back.

After inspection, they told me that the leak is in relation to the front pump. It had leaked at about a rate of 1/2 quart over the last 5k miles.

Labor quoted was substantial. Just wondering if I should take care of it now or what are the ramifications of waiting. Strangely, the leak seems to have slowed somewhat.
