I guess you knew the power steering pump is driven by the poly belt. If you look at the car manual, you can find the poly belt layout figures. The power steering pump oil reservoir would be attached to the pump. The correct level markings appear on the dipstick.

A bit more info about the car would help. Is it 211.083 or 211.090? With 273.962 or 113.969 engine? Could post a picture of the correct model.

Of course the dipstick should not be dry, have you identified any leaks?

Didn't check the oil spec sheet, there must be different options but since it takes so little oil, I would buy the fluid from an MB dealer.
