Your signature indicates a 98 110 which is a different engine but, before you lash out on a new one, I had a problem with my 98 100 a while ago. It wasn't seeping but the engine injection timing was all over the place. Sometimes it would be fine but not for long and then it would rattle like an old taxi and run like a lame dog. After much effort proving that everything else was OK I was about to invest in a new one and then accidentally put about 5L of unleaded in and than filled up with diesel.

 

By the time the tank was nearing empty it was running sweetly and contined to do so until the engine seized about a year later at 230K
