Thanks

Angry Head Gasket

Sorry, it looks like a head gasket. The head gaskets on the straight 6 (s320's 1996 and earlier) are notorious for blowing head gaskets. It's a $2500 fix at your neighborhood MB dealer.

$2500!?! I got mine fixed for about $1000...unless it's more difficult on the straight 6 versus the straight 4?
