I have a '93 300TE 4Matic that has a 103 engine(2.960L). The car runs fine and has 270,000 miles. I have minor oil drips that I would like to get rid of. The power steering pump also has a small leak. The engine only uses about a quart of oil in 5M mile change, I have always used CASTROL 20w-50. The oil use is not a consideration but I would like some comments on whether to have the head gasket replaced. That seems to be where most of the drip is coming from. My "indie", who is very competent, used a flourescent dye in the oil to detect areas of leakage. He would do the gasket replacement if we decide to go ahead. I did have the oil seals done at about 150M, have also had a new water pump and alternator. The valve cover gasket was done with the valve seals, maybe I should just do that for now and see how much improvement in the problem. I don't want to open a "can of worms" with the head gasket replacement but I would like to eliminate the drips. I really like the car and can't find a suitable replacement for my use, we've looked at new MB's and just backed away from them. Thanks for any comments SRHarvey
