power steering level???
my C320 is making an awful noise when turning the steering wheel in either direction. It looks like the fluid level might be low or something?
Anybody knows where you measure this? I cant find a stick anywhere.
Needless to say I am taking it to the dealer but I would like to know if the level is low or if it is something else.

It is low. The dipstick is built-in Pull off the air intake on the drivers side to view. It usually makes that noise during colder weather, during cold engine conditions.

you are indeed correct. The noise is more evident when cold. After a while it kind of goes away. I am checkig right now.
By the way, what fluid should I get? Anything that I can get at an auto parts?

no luck yet
ok, I see the air intake.
I have removed the plastic cover that connects to the air tubes you mentioned.
Belowe that I can see the intake manifold but i just dont see anything that looks remotely like a power steering pump/dipstick.
