M119 engines have no repution for oil or coolant leaks.

The only things to look out for in 92-93 400E's / 94-95 E420's are:

1. defective engine wiring harnesses in 92 / early 93 cars.

2. fluid leaks from power steering pumps - this happens to all 92-95 models. It is a really tight fit in the engine bay for this V8, and heat tends to be hard on the seals / hoses.

Having said that, the engine in 1992-1993 400E's was always a 4.2 liter engine. MB just changed the name to E420 in 1994 and modified the front grill / headlights.
