1994 Mercedes-Benz E320
![Cool](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif)
Hello Everyone, so finally my dream have came true, and I bought 1994 Mercedes Benz E320
, in color I wanted, and fair good condition. It has a 165.xxx miles on it, and every single thing work, well except drivers window, does not roll down, but I can hear the motor works.
Well So I am a happy owner now, and amazed by Mercedes quality and comfort with power combined! Love w124 design! It is solid man's car =)
I have a question thou about maintenance, how do I take good care of it? I just changed all fluid at Oil Can Henry. What else do I do to it? it is the first Mercedes in my life, and I sure want it to last for me for a long time.
By the way, it looks like it has a minor oil leak somewhere in the bottom part of the engine? Anyone know what could it be? And how much will repair cost to me?
Thank you Every one for your help! I am hoping to hear a lot of respond ;-)

On one of the receipts I have found it has a note: "Fix engine oil leaks- front of the engine, possible timing chain cover gasket (first step) or cylender head gasket. 06/16/2009
Came with most of the service records, I am showing that the engine wire harness was done in 2006, but I could say that someone took a very good care of it, and was not afraid to pay for service, or for things that are needed to be done.
I will have the picture of the leak a little later, and it is looks like the pan is oily, I am not sure thou. I just hope it is not the head gasket...
it is 165.xxx wonder how much longer will it go?

Timing cover gasket, much much easier/cheaper than a head gasket, and, it IS most likely the timing cover gasket. Price to fix it------don't know.
