Hi JohnBob,
I had this problem a while ago probably at about 100-120Ks.
There is a cooling pipe that runs along the valley from the front back to the EGR (underneath the turbo) at the rear of the motor. After time the sealing "o" rings become hardened due to heat and start to leak. "O" rings probably cost about 50 cents each but unfortunately every thing on top of the motor has to be removed to get at them, including the turbo. The labour cost about $1200. Where are you located, if in Brisbane Accelerate Automotive at Coopers Plains fixed mine. You need a mechanic that is familiar with the MB diesel motor.
Good Luck
Dave

Sounds like they quoted for every possible cause. Get a parts list & supply the parts yourself, get them from the USA or the UK for half price. European motor so I would look in the UK. OM642 is the engine designation.

Well when you compare it to a replacement engine

5K is a bit steep.
