I have a 99 ML 320 with 270,000 miles and a power steering leak. Even though I had the the pump and reservoir replaced at 230,000 miles I have to top it off every couple of weeks.
The steering never seems light enough to turn the wheel with a single finger, even at idle or low speed. I suspect there is air in the circuit. Where did you find the purging instructions you mention above? Can you describe the purging procedure in more detail or point me to a resource?
