Long shot.
Not long after I had my 1994 G 300 petrol, it was dripping oil on my drive.
A new head gasket was fitted and the dripping abated. A bit.
However. 12 months later.
It still deposits oil drips. Not a lot but enough to annoy.
It has 5w 40 oil in it - as per modern MB
Does anyone know what MB specified when it was new and would thicker oil not be able to exploit leak prone areas in an old engine?
