Hi ldallas and welcome in our big and friendly international family. Please remember to update your profile with your car year and location to help us help you in the best and quickest possible way.
Back to your problem, you are in the wrong sub forum since your car is an R230 and not an R129 so you should post your question in the R230 sub forum.

Cheers.

It should be next the to ABC reservoir if you have ABC. If you look at your car front the front, it should be on your right right behind the headlight.

The picture is on a CL (same location on all CL W215 models) but your car should be similar. The smaller container is the reservoir for the Power Steering. The bigger one is for the ABC.

Hi ldallas, and welcome aboard BenzWorld.

Please note that I have moved your post to the R230 sub-forum where it would better suit this topic.

Best Regards,
