Problem with air filter housing
I changed my valve cover gasket, air filter and fuel filters yesterday in our 81 300D, and found the source of my oil leak. The bottom drain "funnel" on the housing is broken off at the level of the bottom of the pan. I had a fastening bolt that was broken off earlier this summer and replaced it, and noticed the tube was cracked then. It's now leaking oil from the housing onto my exhaust pipe and passenger motor mount. Does anyone know where I can find another housing to fit this one? It also had a part of the perimeter flange of the hole which holds the cup like thing (Mr. technical, here) missing, so it definitely needs replaced. Where's a good place to find one? Also, when I was putting my linkage back together, the throttle rod ball and socket fitting was a bear to get back on. Are those available any place besides a salvage yard? I don't know how many around southeast Missouri carry old Benz parts. Thanks for any help. Lee

Assuming that "housing" means "air cleaner housing:"

yes, the title was air filter housing. the thing that houses the air filter. It's aluminum, pie shaped and has the valve (crankshaft) cover vent feeding into it. The numbers stamped on it are- MB 0110947402, and LP773-1
