You can usually get packages of aluminum or copper washers of various
sizes at a FLAPS intended for oil drain plugs.
That might at least provide a temporary solution unless the washer in
question is something special.

Yeah. You anneal copper exactly opposite how you anneal

I know what you’re describing, as my 1982 300SD had the same thing. Is it

I think the real problem is the aluminum washers for the bolt. I tried a few on
my 617s and had to really crank the bolt to stop "seeping" fuel. I returned to
the copper washers and they seal much better with no seeping problems. I guess
the aluminum are cheaper, but more of a potential
Maybe try a new washer, or I can snag you a new filter and housing
with the bolt in the morning. (for a few bucks) Or I can send you
the filter and housing for an OM603. It takes a different filter, so
the first option is better if you have any spare filters on hand.
The banjo bolts do
Some filters include a new washer but if I'm honest I haven't seen one in
years. A copper washer would do the same job and would be easy to anneal when
it stopped sealing. Dunno where you'd buy such a thing other than McMaster
