'79 300TD oil filter housing leak
I ran a little low on coolant the other day (not sure why...), and the engine got hot (almost 200 degrees according to the gauge on the dash). after i filled the radiator, i noticed that oil had started leaking from somewhere on the engine. a can of brake cleaner revealed that the oil is leaking from under the oil filter element housing cap. so i changed the oil and filter and filter housing cap o-ring ('cause it was time for an oil change anyway), and tightened it down really tight, and it is still leaking. A LOT.

300D Dies under load
1982 300D.."300D Dies under load" I have isolated fuel: changed filters, removed fuel tank and had cleaned, screen in tank cleaned,purged system with cleaner (Diesel purge), replaced fuel lines, cylinder compression across board was 305+-5,glow plugs replaced, new monark injectors (bench tested: 2300,2200,2200,2200,2150)checked timing chain and valve job (cam lobes looked good), and removed exhaust. Fuel is going to each injector. Car runs rough at idle and dies when placed into gear. In fact, while idling (high rev's motor sounds good)and I turn on air car stalls.

79 300d striker bolt holes fell?
I was replacing the striker on my sons '79 and the bolts that the striker attach to fell. I can't see it and only the top one fell.. he was able to grab the bottom one with a paperclip and alot of patience. Is there are way to access inside that channel? Or another solution?
