My 05 had a spring failure on the pulley as well as requiring a new pump. Very similar failure to your description. Hope this helps |

My previous XC90 2005 had a slight leak around the power steering pump (top pulley) - was told nothing to worry about by an Indie so I didn't. Never needed to top up the fluid.

steering pump xc90
[2009 xc90 active premium geartronic]
Hi, we have recently noticed a wheezing/whistle type noise coming from the front when driving. having stopped and had a listen under the bonnet could hear it by the auxillary belts and upon closer examination could see oil seeping from the steering pump pulley which had been also spraying inside the belt housing. Car went in for service today and they agreed that the steering pump bearing has a leak and will replace it under warranty [phew] !. hopefully that will cure the wheezy noise. |
