2001 S80 broken plastic piece at timing belt housing

Post by kdubell »

I recently changed my power steering pump and after driving for a week or so it started to "go bad" again. Loud noise etc..so I was went to drain the fluid and use volvo approved fluid. Upon removing the power steering resovoir return line a water hiss was heard in the timing belt housing. When the housing cover was taken off we found a 90 degree plastic piece busted. What is this piece called, any advice on ordering and replacing? Is it screwed in? Pressure fitted in? It looks very complicated to replace for a plastic piece that is designed to move hot water. Could this have been my problem all along and not my power steering pump itself?

Thanks for the help
