I don't like that answer, please try another ;) I'm hoping I just didn't tighten it down enough and a little more force will seat the gasket but it does look an awful lot like the oil is coming out of the cap: http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/hires/W01331618930FEB.JPG?width=300&height=300
I *think* we wrenched on the cap a little trying to release the tension without having to remove the tensioner itself. Maybe I left the cap loose... There is a banjo thing on the front of the 616 too but its for coolant... -Curt Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 09:30:30 -0500 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] 240D oil leak Message-ID: <a06240805cdcd0f5fd83e@[192.168.1.51]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Tensioner is not something you take apart as it is under spring pressure. you replace the unit. I have only seen leaks at the oring seal to the head. I can't remember the 616 style, but I think it is the same as older types that is held in with two bolts, one also being half on the exh manifold. OM60x is screw-in style. You remember which it is I am sure. 616 has been so reliable, I only ever had one apart, and that was years ago. OM621 also has a U shaped banjo fitting tube that runs from the front of the head to the front of the block. It is an oil supply. I have been guilty of forgetting to tighten those banjo fittings, leading oil leaks. _______________________________________ 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
