W126 Power Steering Reservoir
I suspect my power steering fluid is low. When I steer from straight to either side, I get a gentle vibrating rumble sound. When the steering wheel is turned back to straight, the sound goes away.
I have noticed a consistent leak around one of the hoses going to the steering box, and will replace the hose once it comes in on Friday. Till then, I was hoping to top off the fluid and get better (normal) steering performance.
Question is - how do you check the level, or know how 'full' to fill the reservoir? When I unscrew the black knob and remove the aluminum top, there is no dipstick or min/max markings.
Any ideas?
