I would start by replacing all of them; cheap at about $10 each and they will become part of your 'winter preparation'.

i took a look in the engine bay and it looks like they are buried beneath the intake manifold. Is there a write up for this somewhere? Also im so used to my 2.6 gas w201s, i was quite surprised when i saw the oil filter! Ill have to poke around a bit, but im pretty sure its this corroded cylinder shaped object in the drivers side front of the head. It has an IN and and OUT arrow stamped on the lines.

Are talking about the oil filter? It's at the rear of the head on the drivers's side. I think that's the power steering resevoir on the front of the head.

I know im coming off as quite the newb here, but keep in mind i know the 2.6 gas gars in and out. So no, its not the belt driven power steering pump. I thought i looked back where it should be and it wasnt there. I must be blind. brb
