Thanks guys for the advise. As I looked into past threads I found more info concerning my 603 and based on what I've read I could have a bad, or several going bad injectors possibly and I know that at least one of them weeps and it isn't the return hoses, I just replaced all of those and are now leak-free.

Also I might mention the last time I filled up I calculated approximately 31 mpg combined. Somewhere I read someone claiming 40 mpg hiway!

I'm glad to know that the lifters can be replaced without pulling the head.

Other than that, I'm really happy with this diesel benz. What a ride!
