Did the job but need to get the car aligned by MB. Since my local dealer (Cherry Hill) claims alignment is $149 on sale, and MB of Wilmington, DE charges $89, I'm working my plan to get new tires down there via tirerack and then take the car for an alignment. Will report back on that when I can.

Turbo drain is dry. Been there, done that on my 83... Avoiding that job until it has to get done, at which point I'll remove the whole turbo making the job easier and letting me replace the innards.

My engine has next to no blowby and uses no oil over a change interval. I drove cross country in the car and the level never changed. The oil all over is from the turbo intake, it propagates in the u-tube and drips out/all over. I've got pics of that...

And I sealed my oil separator - which hopefully will fix that. I have the pics and will do the DIY on that soon too...
