Default Re: Help identifying pipe origin & function

I found the origin of the pipe. Indeed it originates from the power steering reservoir. There isnt any fluid in the reservoir. Suprising thing is that the power steering and the fan stopped working at exactly the same time. Initially I thought that the serpentine belt had snapped because the power steering stopped working AND the car started overheating. But it seems that it is two separate incidents that just coincidentally occured simultaneously. Is it possible to get the reservoir separately since the pipe broke off there or should I just glue it back on with some industrial grade adhesive since the break has a large enough surface area to allow this. Also, is the power steering pump and reservoir from the R170 SLK or is it different? Last question, is the fan control module also from the R170 or is it unique to the crossfire?
