If the leak is bad enough in the evaporator, you will see some dye dripping off the drain hoses (provided they are functional).
My bet is that you need a new evaporator.
I removed the transmission, rebuilt it (my first auto rebuild), and reinstalled about 2 years ago.
I then replaced the evaporator. It was a lot of work removing the dash and everything involved. If I had the choice, I think that I would pick the transmission job over the evaporator replacement.
Having said that, I know that you can handle it. Just be prepared for a lot of hours inside your Benz.

Thanks everybody.
Fred -- Was it "fiddly" or more time-consuming? Upon reinstall did you have any issues fitting everything back in? Did anything NOT fit back in "quite" right? My only concern is upon re fitment because I understand 20 years in the sun is bound to have warped the plastics. I definitely want it to look like it had never came out.
I should be expected to replace -- Evap, Heater core, Drier?, Vac pods...anything else? I want to do the job right...$ is not so much of an issue since I will be doing it myself.
