Description of the problem	Started vehicle and when in motion, i turned the steering wheel, the vehicle shuddered and made a loud grinding noise. Checked steering fluid, and it was below the minimum fluid level. Refilled steering fluid reservoir to proper levels and vehicle no longer made any noises or struggled to turn the steering wheel. Several days later the noise and difficulty steering returned when in motion and turning the steering wheel. Check steering fluid reservoir and it was below the minimum fill requirement. Inspected below the vehicle and there was a lot of steering fluid covering passenger side suspension system and slowly dripping from that area. Possible leak from pressure hose. Contacted multiple mercedes-benz dealerships for part # 209-466-00-81 pressure hose and it was not available. It is on world wide back order with no tentative date for replacement. I'm now unable to drive vehicle due to an unavailable part with no date on when i could drive drive the vehicle. The leak seems to be dripping onto the front sway bar with about a drop per minute.
