That is likely a cross bleed system so that tends to point to a master cylinder problem, assuming no external leaks anywhere.

Is it possible to replace/rebuild this master cylinder without the tool to release the gear tension in the abs modulator?

Not something I'd recommend without a scan tool to synchronize them. It can be done but you have to know what your doing. The gears are going to go "boing" when you unbolt it.
