2008 SL55 AMG POWER STEERING FLUID LOSS
When I started the car, the steering wheel would not turn either way and a white ABC warning in dash came on. I checked the ABC fluid and was at the correct level but no fluid in the Power Steering reservoir, all the fluid had leaked to the floor.
The car is a 2008 SL55 AMG with 86500 miles. What could have caused this.
Thanks for your input.

Well that's helpful.

Are you planning to fix it yourself? It's probably a ruptured hose. Pull the engine sump cover, fill the reservoir if necessary, and see if you can see where the fluid is leaking from.
If it's a hose you can get a hydraulic shop to rebuild it for low cost.
