I bet the fuel system is full of bugs [bacteria ]
the stuff loves to eat diesel and looks like black sludge
there are tank cleaners that kill it [ boat stores]
but invest in a handful of the little filters
as even after a good cleaning they will clog

my 300sd was a sitter and got the bugs bad
but no oil leaks or seal problems
it just needed frequent filter swaps

so clean the tank replace all the fuel
run the cleaner as a fuel additive
and get it running before doing the seals
