The idle is smooth, the engine has over 150Km on it, and there is a huge oil leak by the firewall, and no it is not the valve cover seal, that was replaced.

This is why I'm looking for a new cylinder head. The leak is slow, but it has high volume so that all my steering components are getting soaked in oil. My guess this is due to warpage. and it's time for a valve job anyway.

I will contact my local MB dealer today to find out who and for how much does cylinder head work for them.

I found one more place that normally does work on domestic cars, and one more shop I have to pay a visit to next saturday, I'll check their prices too.

As always, option with the best price wins.
