Dear Sid The Kid:
First, you should always tell us the year and model of your car when you ask anything about your car!
Second, you wasted much money to buy that MB power steering fluid.
MB recommended ATF type A for old MB cars, but that ATF is no longer available and has long been replaced by Dexron III/Mercon. However, since Dexron III contains quite a few of additives that will cause your power steering components (hoses, seals etc...) to swell and leak, stop using Dexron III immediately.
OK, go to any auto stores and buy about 3 quarts of any POWER STEERING FLUID (for about $6-7 total). Next, flush the Dexron III stuff from your power steering system using the new power steering fluid you've just bought and fill it up with that power steering fluid. From now on, don't waste money on expensive MB fluids like power steering fluid or dot 4 brake fluid. You can always buy great aftermarket stuff from auto stores at much cheaper prices.
You can read about how to flush power steering system by searching posts.
