The most obvious places are the Power steering rack itself - at each end, and the hoses that are attatched to it.
A leak at the pump is easily spotted.

Hoses are cheaper to replace than seals on the rack (which may require a new unit)

V70xc 1999. steering was making a moaning sound and it was getting progressively hard to turn. Obviously a leak. Return hose was replaced by indy mechanic with part from Volvo dealer for about $500 parts...
Is it truly a leak? If you are missing that much power steering fluid you would have to have power steering fluid on the floor. In my '98 I was able to use the Dexron type transmission fluid in the power steering. Assuming there is power steering fluid in there - turning the steering wheel from chock to chock several times to get the air out of the system. Let us know that you find.

My 1989 volvo gle power steering is getting hard to turn, what could be responsible for this?
Low power steering fluid. You may have a leak at the power steering rack at the pressure line which would cause the rack not to respond as it should.

Hi,
May I suggest a locking gas cap. You could put a large piece of cardboard under your car and if there are any drops the next morning that smell like gasoline you might find the leak if there is one.
Cheers,
Ken

The second belt goes around the alternator and the crankshaft pulley.

I have a 1991 volvo 740. It stalls on me while i am driving. I put it in park and wait for about 2 minutes and it starts back up. Sometimes it will only do this once and other times it will do it 4 or 5 times. Each time I wait no longer than 4 minutes and it will start and go.
