No fluid any where, and I didn't see any gasket either.
I remounted, started the car and pumped the brakes, this time I did notice that there is a slight fade fell in the pedal.
This a good sign of a bad master cylinder?

look closer you will see a squished O ring thats mighty flat.....there is something that seals in the vacuum.
if you have a sinking pedal under steady light to medium pressure get a new master cylinder ASAP before it fails all together. Thats the first sign you usually get when they are failing.....many people never notice it untill it dies altogether.
