The Volvo XC90 v8 has the Yamaha engine which is notorious for having power steering issues when close to 100k miles. They leak and whine at startup and when cold. Usually it's the seal and/or the o-rings. I was able to find a decent one in the junkyard for $25, I see it very shiny and no oil residue or dirt around so I assume that it's ok and probably was already replaced recently. The most difficult part of the job is releasing the belt tensioner and putting the belt back, the other is the removal and replacement of the inner bolt (10mm) The PCV must be loosened so that it will not stress out the hose and break it. I was able to do it with no power steering fluid leakage and preserve most of it by just positioning the tank properly.
