Use new bolts and torque them to spec. Otherwise they can crack.
And... I once had a Mercedes dealer mechanic tell me that Mercedes of that vintage could run about 300 miles on a leaking water pump. This is because in some parts of the world you might be that far away from a shop.
OK, that's great. But I am guessing you are not that far away from a parts source. I would fix it asap or it might tear up the water pump housing. (I am just guessing that the M110 has a housing. It seems like all Mercedes engine from that time do.)
