Hi, from what I have read, Mercedes Benz have their power steering reservoir under a plastic plenum. So you will need to remove this plenum to access the power steering reservoir. Best of luck!
if your steering wheel is hard do you mean its hard to turn it? If that is the case locate your power steering fluid bottle under the bottle it sits close to the water bottle resevoir and see if you have enough power steering fluid in. If by chance you have enough in then your next step will be to locate the power steering pressure switch and look if its damaged by chance.
Most filters for power steering are located in the resevoir. Check there first.. Remove the resevoir cap and see if the is a nut that you can un screw. or check to see if you can remove the cover of the resevoir. Make you sure are using the correct oil in the steering system or you will have problems.
You will have to look where it is leaking from and get it fixed. Running without power steering fluid will eventually burn you power steering pump out and yes if you power steering is that hard to turn when out of fliud, it is dangerous.
First and foremost, (if not already done) check the powersteering resevoir to make sure it has fluid and it is full as well as having no leaks. If it's leaking you may see small dark areas where you frequently park, on the ground. If it is full, there is a chance you need a new one, a hose/line is broken or has a hole (leak). A mechanic is your best choice to find this out. If the resevoir is empty or low, (can be checked hot or cold; look for level indicators for each on dipstick); fill it up and drive for a day or two - check the fluid again (make note of any difference in steering after filling. Powersteering pump may also be belt driven, so make sure the belt is tight (no cracks, etc.) may need to replace belt.
I'd say you broke a serpintine belt if you lost them both at the same time. Check your belts and see if you're missing one... You should have breaks and steering, just manual... hard to steer and brake...
