Had the same thing on my 2005 SL600. Had to take it to the dealer and have the seal fixed. Had the trunk leaking problem as well, and they fixed it all (crossed fingers).
It's a one day thing. Make an appointment. Question, have you noticed that when you apply the brakes at less than 1-3 mph, the steering wheel pulls to one side or the other? If so, that is also an issue they will correct under warranty by replacing a set of bushings.
Here's the part number for the bushings that they replaced. 211-333-29-14. The mechanic removed both front lower control arms and replaced the bushings. No more wheel twitch.

I need this done for my car, Lee. How many hours of labor did this take? Were the replacement bushings the same part number?
According to an M-B bulletin that particular "hydro-mount" bushing you mention can cause a knocking sound when going over a bump or applying the brakes. The solution mentioned is to substitute a conventional rubber bushing P/N 211-333-10-14. I'm curious to know if they installed this substitute on your car...
The bushing P/N 211-333-10-14 has been replaced by the part that Lee mentioned: 211-333-29-14. I brought my pair of torque arms to the dealer and they charged me 1-hour of labor to install the new bushings in the arms. I believe the dealer would have charged 2-3 hours to remove and replace the torque arms. It took me 1:02. It was easier than I expected it to be...
