What might be the problem if there is foam in the power steering fluid reservoir?
foam is caused by air getting into the pump and mixing with the hydraulic fluid, check the low pressure line from the reservoir to the pump for cracks or holes, this can also happen when fluid level becomes too low probably also caused by a leak. As stated above, air is in the system. To remove the air, make sure the reservoir is full. Start the engine and turn the wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left. Do this until all air is removed.

Where do you add power steering fluid in a BMW 530?
I had the same problem until recently. I own a 2002 530i sports edition and yours might look the same. The top of my reservoir cap reads ATF fluid, so i was under the assumption that it was for my transmission fluid. But that is actually the power steering fluid reservoir that leads right to the power steeping pump. It is located on the drivers side front end behind the fan sheild. Remove the cap and the fluid should look pinkish in color with no deris. The cap itself has the refill line located on the dip stick. I hope that was helpful for youl.

What type of power steering fluid in 88 560 sl Benz?
Use the same fluid as your transmission uses. But first, check the oil you have in the reservoir...see what color it is. If its red, use trans fluid....DEXTRON. If the fluid is clear...you'll probably have to go to MB for their special stuff. If your power steering reservoir is more than 1/2 full, you might be losing fluid in the system somewhere. Check the ground underneath your engine to see if there's any red fluid on the ground. If you do have a PS leak, I suggest you get it fixed immediately before you burn up the PS pump. When checking the PS fluid, let the car idle when you check the fluid level. Don't over fill the reservoir...about a 1/2" from the brim is fine.
