Thanks blueranger..
I will do the hose test later today..and let you know the outcome..
I love this Benz, will keep ,have alot of repairs in right now..runs great expect for this problem w/ only 124K ...
I saw another mechanic yesterday and if it's the gasket, he'll flush the system and I'll try the Blue Devil to seal the heads etc. Hopefully it's the water pump..
The leak is coming from under the waterpump..
Thanks I do need a local diyer
