Be Very careful when pulling the plastic reservoir out of the Master, it will break easily and is really annoying to replace. it is also possible your master is leaking into the booster, you can pull the master forward to clear the booster with the lines intact, then shine a light in there to look for brake fluid inside. I have seen this type of leak on several different Mercedes of this vintage. water has a tendency to drain under the booster running between the firewall and inner fender and rust the booster from the bottom, I think its more of a W108/109 problem but none the less you may actually want to pull the booster and see how solid it is. its really just 4 bolts on the inside, and the pedal has a fat bolt with a shoulder on it, very easy to pull on an automatic car.
