That said... I think the only lines under the engine are transmission cooler lines... And they are known to rub at the mount points when the rubber protectors disappear...
The 85 300TD has the SLS reservoir on the driver's side. The lines from the rear of the car run along the passenger's side and then near the turbo cross to the driver's side of the car, under the engine and along the crossmember. The 87 TD also has this setup.
