You can use the big O-ring that comes with the oil filter (Mann HU821X) in the vacuum pump by removing the front cover with four screws, since that's where it mostly leaks from. That orange seal inside the vaccum pump isn't available from Mercedes, and the aftermarket seal often fails too, which is why they make you spend $800 to replace the whole vacuum pump. Also, while you're at it, replace the metal gasket (MER-6420160280) where the pump connects to the engine, as that can leak over time as well. People have successfully done this on 2012-2015 ML, GL, and R class vehicles with the OM642 engine, but I believe it should work for all OM642 engines, regardless of the model year. Just remember to clean everything really well with brake cleaner and a lint-free cloth before installing the gaskets to avoid any leaks later on. Do this at your own risk since the vacuum is used for the brakes!
Mine is leaking somewhere at bottom half between engine and pump after replacement with original new pump and gasket. I could not find online any other cause but gasket or internal seal, but that is not the case with mine...

Buen video! No pierde aceite motor al realizar el cambio? Gracias !
There are maybe 5ml of oil in it, so it's negligible

The oil filter housing might be leaking, if thats the case replace the whole oil filter housing ($250) not just the gaskets.
Ich fand es sehr interessant die Vakuumpumpe mal von innen zu sehen. Sollte man die Schrauben nicht mit einem definierten Drehmoment anziehen?
M8ter Schraube in der Regel mit 25NM wenn nichts Anderes angegeben ist
