Today I took the ole Benz for a ride for the first time in a few weeks and noticed the brakes were very mushy. I pulled over and the rear part of the reservoir, closest to the brake booster, was empty. The grommet at the bottom of the reservoir going into the master cylinder (right?) was a bit wet.

I refilled the brake reservoir and went for a drive, its a bit better but not all the way, I will bleed it this weekend.

Other than replacing that gasket, what else should I do?

Anyone who has replaced that gasket have a few tips for me?

Thanks!
