Did I make a big mistake with ABS on my '92 240? 200

Last night I discovered I have a steady drip around the rubber washer between the brake fluid reservoir and the master cylinder. I put two guys around it, squeezing it with much more even compression onto its seat. I went back out this afternoon and found out it is still weeping brake fluid.
That was while I had the power bleeder pumped up to 20 psi.
As I've said I have bled all four wheels in the proper order for an ABS system two times and am getting clear brake fluid coming out. There are no other leaks in the system, lines and calipers. No leaks at the ABS distribution box, nor the junction box on the sheet metal driver side accessible from underneath. I cleaned and dried it. It stays dry.
So that's where I am now I'm going to look up that washer, or gasket whatever it's called. Seems like that's the next thing I have to fix. Then go back to bleeding the system again.
Now I'm going to read all the posts that you guys have all put up as help.
