After a long period off the road, my S70 returned to daily use a couple of months ago and ever since, there has been a loud noise off the power steering pump whenever the steering is held at a certain angle when turning. Aside from that, there is no problem with the steering's function.

I have checked the power steering fluid level and it is near the top, although I am considering flushing the system and putting new fluid in. Would this go towards curing the problem I wonder or is it a case of the pump being on the way out and needing to be replaced?
