w210 power steering leak
 
I seem to have a leak at the power steering. I searched the existing thread that pertains to that, however, I don't seem to see a leak at the control valve on the steering arm and I don't see a leak at the power steering pump. I am only refilling the fluid every couple of weeks so it doesn't seem to be a big one.

Any ideas that I could check out myself?? I bought the little o-rings but it does not seem to be leaking from that area of the steering arm.

POWER STEERING LEAK

GO TO ANY AUTO STORE, USE A LEAK STOP, FOR SMALL LEAKS IT WORKS

On the M119, the typical leak is the short hose that connects the reservoir to the pump itself. Done a lot of those, mostly on the older ones like the 500SL and 500SEL (129 and 140 chassis) but I htink the E420 210 chassis uses the same setup.

Have used the leak stop in conjunction with power steering fluid and does not work.

Hoses seem to be fine, no evidence of leakage at connections.

If it is wet or l;eaking around the pump, it is probably this hose, it is only a few inches long and quite hard to see. It is under the reservoir itself.
