I hate leaks! it seems by replacing the oil filler cap with a metal one (was plastic) and smearing a thin layer of epoxy on the breather nipple stopped both from leaking. Previously, I tried sanding smooth the nipple but it still leaked because of casting imperfections. Mercedes did not machine the nipple from the casting and that's the reason it leaks. If you look closely at it you will see.

Nipples, did I hear nipples  ?
Steve have you replaced the rubber Elbo and rubber Gasket under the Oel Cap? Those Elbo`s get hard from the heat and don`t seal very well. replaced mine and he Oel cap seal and leaks disappeared.
Nice clean engine.
