Hi. If you go the route of fixing the easily replaceable seal at the timing cover then clean very well the area of oil and leftover pieces that may cling and use the "Gray" sealant from MB. I'll research # for you later. Also may want to defer the fixing until you need to replace parts for a major tune-up since you will have to remove these parts. Another tip is to check the oil going into the alternator at it may impair its performance. In my case the oil caked the self adjusting brushes and left me stranded. Good luck.
