Growling noise!?!? 900 1995

List,

The car is a '95 940 with aprox. 70k miles. Runs great but has recently been making a terrible growling noise. I thought perhaps the water pump was seizing (coolant level was down a little bit) but when I removed the belt from the H2o and PS pumps, the H20 pump spun freely and had no noticeable play. I tried to spin the PS pump and it was noisy. I've never seen a PS pump fail on one of these cars, much less with only 70k miles! Any ideas what might cause the pump to fail prematurely? The car steers fine and the assist feels normal, but the noise.... So, who's had a PS pump fail? The fluid looks real clean (but reddish, almost like ATF) Thanks in advance-

Nathan A. Courtright
