Power Steering Fluid? - 1986 560 SEL

Hi!

I need a little help locating where the power steering fluid is located in my car! The owner's manuel does not show it. The guy who usually does work on my car told me where it is supposed to be located, but when I put power steering fluid in, it still sounds as if there is absolutely no fluid in there! Help!

Hi
Open the hood, it is a metallic canister on the right side within 15 cm of the front of the car.

Also it has a Nut on the top ,which when opened will open the canister.

Hope you find it.

In front of the driver's side of the V-8 bank is a square shape white metal box (looks aluminum) with a circular top (looks like steel or iron). On top of this circular top is a round black plastic-rubber knob. Twist it counter-clockwisely and it will come off. Top up with Mercedes steering fluid as required.
