i have a 1990 300e........it started leaking coolant the other day so i decided to see if i could find out where it is coming from.. Checked all the hoses first, no leaks. It seems to be coming from the front of the motor on the side of the waterpump....... i can see most of the head gasket and it doesnt seem to be leaking(although im not 100 percent sure). so im thinking it is coming from the bottom side of the waterpump, but from under the car i cant pinpoint it for sure......... the car only has 170,000 kms on it. I was wondering if the head gasket generally has a life expectancy this long and also is it common to leak from the waterpump. any thoughts on this would be appreciated
