Mine does. The leak has been there as long as I've owned it, but the country fix was working until the most recent accident (though as noted it was failing slowly before). I know the car was in a big wreck prior to my ownership, I assume it broke then and the PO did the fix to get it sold. Fortunately, Rusty hooked me up, $45 for the line shipped at the usual Rusty speed. Cheaper than I was guessing it would be used, and a lot easier to find! :) Thanks, -Tim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
