But why air cooled? Just wondering, seems liquid would be a better choice?

Hi all I am writing with a question re my 82 300D turbo, 200k miles, original motor including original Garrett turbo. I have an oil leak that seems to come from the rear end of the turbo (e.g., where the exhaust leaves the turbo into the flexible part of the exhaust pipe). After a drive it leaves several drips on the ground. I am assuming that some rear seal within the turbo is leaking. I am writing to see if anyone can help me further diagnose this - is this reflective of some simple oil seal change, or does it likely mean the bearings and or impellar shaft have too much play and would also need replacement? I am willing to just replace the turbo if need be but it would be ideal for me to understand better what this type of oil leak means. The car has been well cared for including frequent oil changes, but the first owner (1982-1996, 125k miles) probably did not let it idle much before shutting it off. Thank you for any help. Andrew |

I'd love to find an air cooled diesel, or two, for projects I'm working on.

In the real world, there are things to beware of. Deutz engine parts are so
expensive, it might have made better financial sense to scrap the truck than
to try to repair the engine..

Going nuts my 1984 300SD has been in the shop for a week, for ball joint replacement. Still waiting for it to be done mechanic has no news but that he is working on it is it that difficult any special tools or procedures required. I know he was replacing tie rods, upper control arms, lower ball joints and shocks.
