like he says..I had that happen to my W116 after I bought it...slowly disappearing brake fluid..everything remained dry......when my mastercylinder started the sinking pedal thing I found out where it was going...it was leaking into the booster....it was half full (right up to the center hole) of brake fluid...

when you seperate those two you need a new O-ring to seal it or you will have a massive vacuum leak.
