E320 CDI power steering leak
I have a 2006 E320 CDI with 60,000 miles on it. When I first bought the car I noticed the power steering level was a little low so I topped it off. Over the past year I have had to periodically top it off. Then I noticed that the area all around the power steering pump was dirty and covered in fluid.
Is it a normal problem for these power steering pumps to leak like that? Do I need to replace the whole pump & reservoir to fix it or is it just a bad seal in the steering lines? Also The steering works and doesn't make any weird noise provided the fluid level is good.

Out Of Control!!
no it is not normal,however its not a simple as you make out-- first you have to determine the cause of the leak and taking the system apart so be it
