Hello listers. I’ve spent about 5 hours working on this tired 240D. It has oil leaking from the rear main seal, and the valve cover and oil separator have been blowing oil all over the engine! I did replace the VC gasket when I did the valve adjustment. The major situation is that the passenger’s side engine mount outer bolt can’t be taken out. I thought I had the wrong angle, but I was able to hit it straight on with the u-joint extension and still no go. I decided to get a closer “LOOK” at the bolt and discovered that there’s a tip of an Allen wrench stuck inside the bolt, and it’s too tall to get another bit in there to spin it out. All of the remaining three bolts came out, but they are practically stripped. Is there any way to easily extract the bolt with the broken hex inside? On another note, I was feeling around the crossmember for a bolt that I had dropped when I found a piece of rubber hanging off the Driver’s LCA. The bushing is SHOT!! Can this be replaced without removing it from the car? I’m not sure if I want to sort out all of the problems with this car.
