I have a 99 slk 230, replaced all of the seals on the top actuators about 6 months ago due to hydraulic fluid leaking, the top worked well now I have a huge hydraulic leak and I have no idea where. What occurs I fill the reservoir the top will lower with no issues, I check the level in the reservoir no changes, upon closing the top the entire reservoir will be empty, so it is obvious to be an issue on that side of the pump. I check all of the area around the pump no fluid, all actuators dry, no fluid on the ground ???? I have no idea where else to look ????

You mean the coolant deposit is empty?

Why should be a leak if theres nothing on the floor?
Maybe the fluid went to another safe place.
Please tell us more information then we could help you better.
If theres a leak the first to do is watch the color of the fluid, then where and when...

Did you a OBD diagnose just for check?
