Since I've owned the car, If I turn too quickly i get really weird feel and noise through the steering. I've just put up with it and try not to turn quickly. I would like to get it sorted now. Power steering does look like it's leaking from bottom and pump. Not sure if you can see if photos. Any Ideas? Image Image Image Image Video: I must say it sounds worst when I'm driving.

Did you change the fluid?

I'm not sure. She did have a full service last August. I remember the previous owner saying he had the power steering reservoir replaced. So could have not been done correctly or wrong fluid. I would like to replace it with the 05 reservoir.

Mines been doing something similar. More ROAWRRR than MWEEE I thought it was the pump but the fluid was a little low. Bought some more from Volvo today so it might help.

The <05 reservoirs are known for bulging and they leak after even a short while. 05> reservoir will solve your problem. Leak at the pump is more likely the hose. I've never known a V70 or S60 P/S pump to fail or leak! Always change the fluid first along with the reservoir and see if the noise goes. If not, replace the pump or don't put on full lock and strain the pump.
