Thanks, I decided not to risk it and had it recovered to the local independent Mercedes specialist I use. Just spent half an hour looking at it with them,

Neil,

Out of curiosity, who is your specialist?

We've fitted a few, mainly due to loss of pressure.

Star Motor services :)

Hi Neil, we thought the leak was from the high pressure out pipe on the pump initially, so we changed the o rings, bled the system. Unfortunately we still had a leak, it turned out to be coming from the front seal, which is hidden by a tin cover, so pushing the oil out just above pressure pipe. unfortunately we had our hopes up that it was just o rings that were leaking.
