I just had all my leaks fixed. Thank God. I have the same exact car like you have. A silver 1997 C280 Sport with M104 engine and 722.6 tranny 5 speed Auto. Though mine has 245,xxx miles on it. I replaced all the seals from the front (timing cover, and crank shaft seal) and rear of the engine (Head gasket with an updated Mercedes head gasket, and rear main seal) Top (valve cover gasket) and underneath (like what cm60k says). This car is very reliable in fact I still drive this car on my long trips like from Sacramento to Los Angeles or Everett, WA.
