I once had a similar problem with a OM616. Are all the rubber lines crack-free? A hairline crack let air in periodically. I just happened to hear the hiss when a second person cranked while I observed. Changing that line made the difference after I purged all the bubbles. That car has been running flawlessly for four years since that fix.
Lesson: the rubber may look good, but still be cracked.
