The hydraulic pump on my XM was very ’raspy’ until I spotted a leak from my pressure regulator. Once
I had replaced the pressure regulator, and repressurised the system, the hydraulic pump stopped
making any noise!

you don’t actually specify where your leak is. Mine was from the pressure regulator (seperate from the
pump as I’m sure you know). Initially I had hoped that one of the pipes connected to the regulator was
lose. However, the leak was from the end of the regulator itself. I couldn’t repair it, and so removed it,
and installed a second hand replacement. I don’t know if the pump is a serviceable unit or whether it is
a replacement job. Definately check for leaks in the connections with the hydraulic pipework before
buying any expensive components though.
