hi, just had a similar problem recently. I though it was either the glow plugs or fuel filter, but it was actually a small fuel leak underneath the fuel filter. I dont remember which hose/connection it was, but check the fuel filter visually for leaks. the mechanic said it was a really easy job...

tried bleeding it today. did all the procedures as described, slowly and gently. But the hum still remains, especially with a warm engine. When the engine is cold you cant really notice it. The funny thing is that the fluid doesnt actually leak (or it doesnt look so).

well the steering rod was recently repaired for leaks and received new bushes between the frame and the steering rod, so I figure at least MOST (if not all) oil was changed during te repair, but still the pump keeps humming during low rpm or generally during slow manoveurs.

Does anybody have experience with changing the power steering pump on a lc90 3.0td? is it a complicated job? is it possible to get the job done without draining the whole system? thanks in advance!
