I've never had a 123 with a manual on the road, but on all the prior
models, a leaking slave was very obvious on the outside. Try just
adding a little more fluid.

oh boy, a 240D that looses power, they dont have much power to start
with. On those little engines, it does not take much to really screw

new 1/4" drill bit and stainless steel bolts / washers / nuts.
Car looks a little prettier now (but not much).
