84 300D Turbo oil leak

I have an oil leak on my 1984 300D Turbo in the area of the turbo oiler pipe behind the motor, below the valve cover gasket. I am just now seeing it since the engine was covered in oil and I have washed it down several times and have finally found the originating point of the leak. Unfortunately it is tough to pinpoint exactly since that are is so tight. The oils is dripping down the rear of the engine and on to the transmission. Is it common that the pipe may have sprung a leak from chafing in that area or is it possibly something else? It is definitely not the valve cover gasket.

leaky injector 79 240D

It's been one thing after another with this car. Just replaced the starter with one we bought from ya'll, and it worked great, then today a leaking injector. Diesel is flowing out. It's the one closest to the firewall/cab. Does this problem describe a bad injector? Is this an easy fix? Any tips or direction is most appreciated.

Thanks! Shelly (Standing in for Pete)

What size are front speakers that fit and where to buy?

I bought some four inch speakers to replace my fronts, but they are too large as the tweeter disallows the grille from fitting on and only one screw hole fits. I believe the speaker size is R100, as in 100mm. I have not been able to find these anywhere, even Crutchfield's overpriced offerings. Has anyone been able to find some upgraded speakers that will fit? I'm not looking for high power handling or anything, just something that will fit reasonably and handle a modest modern radio/CD player.
