Please answer this question...1995 E320 M104 with a (probably) head gasket leak. Bought at 39k miles...now has 52k on it. Before winter just changed the (green) coolant back over to pink MB. No sign of oil, no smell, no pressure, etc. The coolant does not appear to have dropped from the time of change. The engine DOES leak a fair amount of oil into the catch pan. You will see a little puddle here, a larger puddle there, etc. So the engine leaks oil--I assume this is the headgasket...car runs superb. BUT...Am I risking the engine by continuing to drive it like this until the head gasket is done this summer? Oil is changed about every 3k Vavoline 10W30. No sign of coolant on the stick.
