You need a new timing belt kit with water pump included for a start. You will need to get a new head gasket, but be careful when replacing, as you might need to get the head planed if it's damaged. The oil leak will need closer inspection, as you obviously have another gasket leaking.
It's a bit like Aston Villa really; if you look closely, you can see the problems, and you know what's not working and what needs replacing. It doesn't need a rocket scientist to figure it out. Sometimes, Mercedes are not what they are cracked up to be. I prefer Audi myself. ?

Cheers, Whack. You see, my head gasket is McGinn, my oil leak is Youri, and my belt is Bouba, just like my car. It won't work without these 3, plain and simple.

That's where the main difference is between a car and a football team. We are paying astronomical wages to the spare parts, but Emery would rather walk to work and end up late every day and lose out on his bonus than just put the spares on the car and drive for the time being until Mercedes send him back the repaired genuine Mercedes parts. ?

Sounds a fair analogy, Whack.
