2012 C250 Faom in power steering reservoir
Happy Saturday to all. I have a 2012 c250, with 1.8 turbo. I just noticed that the power steering fluid is foaming and seeping out of the reservoir lid. There are no other symptoms. The power steering is quiet and responsive and smooth. I have not been working on anything related to the pump or reservoir. I just noticed slight dampness at the reservoir lid . As this indicates air in the system, can anyone suggest if there is a common issue to check for on this car. Is there an o-ring that tends to fail, or ?.
Thank you for any thoughts on this issue.
RG

According to the Forums description, BlueTeck c250 is not W204. What am I missing?
