I've been told the Kompressor engines are quite prone to cracked manifolds. I've already had to replace one on my 230K CLK

They can be welded, but might have to be removed first, they are prone to blowing along the seems, ive seen quite a few.

Take it to a exhaust place and let them have a look and advise you.
