My booster has developed a leak and I'm wondering if anyone has a lead on a replacement unit for my 1967 250sl?

All the usual suspects - K&K, Miller's, Buds, and our own Dave Gallon. Be prepared, these are not cheap.$400 +/- I would expect.

I had to replace the booster on my 230SL last fall. I got my part from Millers . When you install the booster pay special attention to the pivot bolt on the actuator rod. If the bolt is not cleaned and lubricated and moving freely ,when you apply the brakes and then release them the actuator does not return all the way. This caused me alot of grief! Good Luck.

A few years ago, I used Power Brake Exchange in San Jose to have mine rebuilt. Price was less than $200 back then.
Here are some reference threads:
