1985 380SE Power Steering Fluid
 

Where is the Power steering fluid reservior on my son's 1985 380SE and what is the part number for the fluid?

Reservoir
 

It is on the left front of the engine (drivers side). It has a little wing nut on top to loosen. The MB part number for p/s fluid is 000 989 88 03.

Thank you very much for your help!

Yeah- its super easy to check. On my 380SE, it was low one time. I just added regular PS fluid. I am assuming it was safe to do so. I have not had to add any since and the PS works perfectly. I found out that when I park the car with the front of the car uphill, it will slightly leak. When parked level, or the front downhill.... no leaks. I just stopped parking with the front uphill. Problem solved. :)
