M104 coolant leak
 

94 w124 developed a large coolant leak on the rear of the engine. I can’t see where but I think it’s the o ring on the driver side. It’s mostly visible on the pass side dripping down the bellhousing behind the exhaust. Would that o ring cause water to come out on the pass side or would it stay on the driver side? Any other coolant lines back there? Otherwise I guess I need a new head gasket.

Is it possible to get the heater hose bracket off with out taking the intake off? I can’t get to the bottom bolt

Remove the hose first and don't forget the bracket for egr line support, a 6mm ball allen socket works good, and then small 6mm on a rachet

I was trying hard to get that lower bolt out. Can’t get a straight shot and then enough leverage to break it out. I’m probably going to have to take the intake out
