Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / June 2007engine removal
1984 500 SEL. There is a oil leak somewhere under the car, looks like right where the transmission connects to the engine. Its all covered in oil. I dont know what it could be. I also have a bad motor mount as well. How much trouble would it be to pull the engine to correct the leaks. I would like to maybe clean it while it was out, along with the whole engine compartment, with the motor out. Is it alot of trouble, or do I just sound crazy to do so. This oil leak is ruining my driveway, and it needs to be corrected. What would be the best way to go. If you are positive it is engine oil, then it probably is the rear main seal. Did you check your valve cover seals back there too? People drop their tranny to repair this problem... not the other way around. Much less things to worry about. Engine mounts are pretty easy to replace. If it were me, I would pull the engine and trans together, then seperate them, but I have all the equipment to do it. It is probably one of the easist cars to do that I have ever done. I would however make sure it is not the valve covers leaking before I did anything. Paul > 1984 500 SEL.

A large sheet tray at AutoZone along with some oil absorbent placed under the car is my solution for my 84 300D until I can get mine fixed. I don't have to pull the engine though. Just the turbo oil drain tube. |
