w210 e300td transmission cooler leak

[peapod]

I have a small drip from bottom of rad OS front, looks like the clean atf I put in this summer. Has anyone had this leak with an E300TD. Is it a seprate cooler? I cant see it properly even with undertray removed. Is it likely to be a new cooler job and if so ball park parts figure ??

Try a search on here as iirc dieselman had a similair problem with his 300td cant remember the repair just remember the leak?

It is the pipe that gets rusty and then springs a small leak. You need a new pipe and that should sort it. Mine went on my w124 at about 6 yrs old - made sure the new one was waxoyled and it has been fine in the 9 yrs since then. IIRC the pipe was abiout £30 or so.
