In MBs user hand book for the 460, they recomend removing the wading plug periodicaly to allow oil seepage to drain, they seem to expect some from the main seal. You know what the inside joke is to having a leaky LR? I have heard two possible answers. The first is it is a standard oil check. The second is that the leak is to let you know that at least you do have oil. | |

The starter has quite a bit more pep when you turn the key with no delay...PROBLEM RESOLVED. Thanks all. On a side note, it did take a bit to remove the starter as I had to figure out the puzzle as to what extensions and unversal/swivel connectors go where for the top bolt....a big help was having enough space between exhaust and driveline to get my arm through as well as not having any heat shields installed. Installation was a snap naturally after already figuring out the puzzle during removal. The photos below show: 1. the dirty/oily starter 2. the starter by which previous owner/mechanic put hole in underside, but not bottom to allow drainage, I mad enew hole where arrow is. 3. The tools I used to remove starter hex bolts.
