At 337601 miles no leaks in my 617. --- On Fri, 3/23/12, BStromsoe <bstromsoe@yahoo.com> wrote: From: BStromsoe <bstromsoe@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [diesel_mercedes] My car is possessed!

If it is crankshaft seals, it is time for sockets, ratchets, wrenches, etc. On Mary, I lose a few table spoons per day. It is annoying, but not so annoying that I am pulling my hair out and fixing it. When I change the oil around May 01, I "might" explore the leak further. If it is a gallon per trip - I park it until I solve the problem.   brian from laverne, ca Mary (195K)  Martha (280K) 1983 w123 300d's From: Trish Dougherty <purrfectharmonyfarm@wifi45.com> To: diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 8:52 PM Subject: [diesel_mercedes] My car is possessed!   OK so today is the 4th time I've driven my car since we got it back on the road and only the 3rd time ever to drive at night. We were leaving camp when all of a sudden the car started screaming at us from what we figured was the emergency blinker button.  We turned them on and off and eventually the screaming stopped.  Then the seat belt light started blinking on and off, then the glow plug light!  Then the light for the shifter went on and off!  All the way home...45 minutes it was a freaking light show on my dash!  Oh and those are the ONLY dash lights I have. I use the light from my phone to see how fast I'm going.  But in this car I really don't have to worry about going too fast. The car is still blowing oil like crazy.  I feel sorry for anyone behind me.  It's embarrassing!  I put in a quart of Motor Honey Stop Leak, drove the specified miles...150 and it's still leaking.  I put in at least a gallon of oil today!  Tomorrow when I go into town I'll pick up MORE oil and another quart of the MHSL, I guess.  *Sigh*  -- '81 300 SD...yes it is!
