I finally tackle that oil leak that has been coating my driveway and the undercarriage for a long time.
The car is a 2008 Mercedes GL320 CDI with the 3.0Liter V6 turbo Diesel.

In Part 1 ( • Mercedes Diesel GL320CDI OM642 Oil co... ) I talked about how I was doing the project. But here in Part 2 we are going to show you as much as we can of the process to replace the OM642 oil cooler seals. The seals were the original orange color and we replaced them with the recommended purple ones. This is a quiet running powerful diesel engine, but it has been leaking and had a few issues over the last year or so and I hope this is the last time I have to work on it for a while.

I spend a lot of time out in the workshop and i am always fixing, scapring and recycling things to try to make this world a better place and keep the 'Do it yourself" spirit alive.
I am a computer Network Engineer by profession but my parents and grand parents are Plumbers, engineers, and Teachers so I hope to pass the same Can_Do onto my kids, and maybe some people on youtube.
