Whenever it rains I get a significant puddle on the right side

My 300SD which now has 130K miles on it, has a transmission issue

Wife's little 280 has blown oil smoke, on startup, a couple of times for
5 seconds or so. It has less than 15,000 miles. There are no codes. Oil

driving in the rain, it will run from 5 to 10 ...

but I'm still not sure how to get the belt off the
ac compressor for my 1984 300sd.
Is there a tension adjustment screw somewhere

My 1984 300SD needs a new ac compressor.  My last mechanic
said mercedes compressors were junk and GM's were better.
I'm running R12 in the AC.
I've read in past posts that Mercedes ones are better because

I've read somewhere that the expansion valve on a 300sd is a pain
to remove and that there's a special mercedes tool to take it out.
I'm putting in a new compressor and drier thought I'd do the
expansion valve while the system is empty. Is it really that much

lights all work. I have tried taking pressure off the drive train by
