Yeah they do that too. As someone else already mentioned, the
radiator cap on the tank can look ok and cause problems. If the
coolant only goes down when you drive, look at the tank and cap. If
it goes down while setting, look at the WP, hoses etc.
I went through a rach of bad Radiator caps on Diesels until I bought
new caps for all of them. A few years ago Marshall or someone
recomended replacing the rad caps every ___ years as a matter of PM.
I never did. I just replace them when there is a problem. But the
problems I had with the 300D will make me reconsider. I may go to a
5 yr. replacement PM program. Or, by then I may sell the car. Who
knows?
The mystery leak in my son's 603 300D turned out to be a crack in the
coolant tank just under a fitting on the side facing the front. Only saw it
when it got bad enough to see dripping under the car. Saw a small stream
squirting forward when up to temp and under pressure. Liquid steel cured it.

Does the 124 have that little stubby hose between the thermostat housing
and the water pump housing like the 123 does? Thats what was leaking on my
240D...
I did the waterpump while I was there, I figured that was $45 of cheap
insurance.
