On my '86 900 I was getting the same leakage and noisy symptoms. Mine was leaking due to a loose C-clamp on the PS reservoir hose going from the reservoir to the pump. The clamp at the pump end was loose-leaking fluid all ove the place. Make sure both hose end C-clamps are tight. Add fluid and moniter situation. The PS Pump "protests" when low on fluid by making a loud groaning sound. At first, when it made the same groaning sound on mine, I added synthetic PS fluid-which was a mistake. If you have regular PS fluid DON'T mix syn fluid with regular fluid. The pump will groan even though there is enough fluid if you mix different fluids. Stay with regular fluid if that's what's already in it. You may want to change fluid once you make sure no leaks exist.
Hopefully, if the symptoms are like mine, you won't need a new PS pump or steering rack. Big $$.
