Dip stick? and Powersteering ?

Hi I was wondering if my 2001 C320 has a dipstick because its not in the book nor can I find it in the engine. Also does anyone know if there is a place to put power steering fluid cant find or see it in manual? My steering seem to feel alittle hard to turn as if there was a little restriction. Any one know if this is normal or has the same problem?Thanks in advance. Sorry I am a newbie.

Mince did this for approx. 4-5 days, I removed the cap and the level was fine. So, I left the cap off and with the car running, I "burped" the system of air by turning the steering wheel all the way to the right then alll the way to the left about 10-15 times each way. I then closed the cap.

My steering has been fine for the past 4+ days with no hint of the problem again.

Since the fluid level seemed ok, I was going to have the power steering belt replace or at least inspected but now,I will leave it as is.

How is your problem going?

the car doesnt have a dipstick you check the oil with the computer. go to the oil screen and than turn the key half way so its not on and wait till it tells you.
