Camshaft magnet oil is leaking, which part to replace?
My wife drives her 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor. The oil is seeping through the camshaft magnets.
I'm sure that the camshaft magnets are OK. They need new gasket (O-ring) to stop/delay the oil leak. Can I just replace the gaskets? or do I have to buy everything: camshaft magnets and O-ring gaskets?
I will also need to buy new isolation wires. The current isolation wires are soaked with oil. Where can I buy them?
thanks

After 57 or so views, no one knows how to answer my questions??? Can I reuse the camshaft magnets while replacing the O-ring seal gaskets?
I found the isolation wires (known as "adapter cable") online... www.factorymoparparts.com sells them for $28.91 each!!! Many other places sell for $35-$45 each.
