Where's the power steering reservoir

I'm the proud new owner of a 1997 s500 coupe. I'm getting a whinning noise from the steering wheel and I'd like to know where's the reservoir in order to check the fluid level. Also, what type of power steering fluid should I use for w140 coupe?


Thanks

well.. you should have the M119 engine in your car which means the p/s reservoir is located at the front of the engine on the driver's side.. It's the silver canister with the flat top.. As for fluid, if you don't have the factory stuff, any non-synthetic p/s fluid should work just fine. You might also look under the car to make sure it's not a bad leak that should be fixed.
