To flush the power steering fluid on a Mercedes SLK, start by lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the power steering reservoir cap and drain the old fluid by disconnecting the return hose; allow the fluid to fully drain. Reconnect the hose, refill the reservoir with new power steering fluid, and then start the engine while turning the steering wheel from lock to lock to circulate the new fluid. Finally, check for leaks and top off the fluid as necessary.
Water in fluid as a result of leak or condensation. Time to flush and refill with new.
You can use generic power steering fluid or GM 89021184 fluid. If you're really stuck somewhere you can use trany fluid but power steering fluid is the best.
