Here you go, this might help

This is a quote from that forum about the fix:
"Well, I just got my car back from the shop (indy), and it works great.
Here's why,
Replaced the tandem pump with a new Luk pump
Replaced the valve block/accumulator
Replaced the filter
Flushed system
Filled with fresh Hyd fluid
Cost $2,749.00 total
Suspension works great, and no noise at all!! "

The CL uses the same system for ABC and power steering. So that tank services both. I would say there is something wrong with the ABC, but that is odd that it just started out of the blue.

Uses the same PUMP, however has two different tanks. One for the ABC and a smaller one for the power steering.

well after having the car at dealership and my independent shop, both agree air was on steering system, both recomend keep driving it for a while, to see if does bleed itself today just for the heck of it i remove the screw cap on reservoir and my filter was floating inside the tank, now what a bunch of idiots at the dealer and my independent, looking to change shop, or getting all the star system software to do the service my self, really pissed, i have software for my mack trucks, and im pretty good mechanic i work on my big rigs and i have a big building, Also the car got stuck in park yesterday my independent won't remove the lock ( wants to sell me a new shifter assy), and the dealer either, i have this lock removed on my 600, so i went ahead pull center console, got shifter out and remove the litte plastic trigger, job done, i dont have kids, and if some one opens a cl to take it, the plastic safety wont keep them from doing it.
Btw i drove the car at 110mph and not one drop of fluid come out of reservoir also is not foaming at all any more/
peace out
