On my  E300D (606.91x motor) the chain tensioner leaks slightly. It's the
only  spot on the motor that is wet from oil.
I suspect that the aluminum seal at  the end cap (not the seal between the
unit and the engine) is to  blame.
But than it says to replace the complete unit, don't disassemble (~  $100).
Has anyone experiences with this?
TIA



Hans,
 
On my 617 diesel, when you remove the cap, a stiff spring pushes out.   Not 
insurmountable, and I don't see why you can't remove yours and replace the  
sealing washer, or just add a little thread sealant to the existing  washer.
