Is there an oil leak on a Mercedes 617?
If you own a 617 turbo diesel Mercedes I suspect you have already had to deal with oil leaks. It comes with old diesel territory. There is one small common leak on these engines that is annoying at best but a real pain to repair. Maybe you have already spotted it but are uncertain how to fix it.
How do you fix a diesel oil leak?
In most diesels I have worked on, this area is either wet with oil or weeping oil down the side of the pan. With age the o-rings that seal the short section of the pipe shrink and become brittle. The only way to permanently fix this leak is to remove the pipe and replace the o-rings at both ends.
