Where is the power steering reservoir for 05 C230 Kompressor Sedan 1.8L? Is it the boxy black reservoir next to the coolant reservoir on the passenger side? I have a feeling it is, but I want to make sure it is before I top it off.

Yes, that is the power steering pump/reservoir on the upper right side of the engine.

Thanks Paul. I plan on topping it off tomorrow. It is currently low. My car occasionally makes a whinning/squeaking noise when I turn right to park or reversing. I hope this will fix the problem.

I highly recommend that you take it in and check for leaks before you top it off. I recently had to replace my entire steering rack because my P/S pump was leaking into it and ruining the seals. it wasn't a cheap fix
