Hydraulics hissing

After looking at this forum I realise that the hissing my Xantia's hydraulic system makes is normal although mine hisses every 10 seconds when idling at the normal drive setting.
What do I need to check?

accumulator sphere. a quick change should sort this?

A 10 second clicking rather than hissing sound means a new accumulator is needed, I don't think the car should really be hissing...

'Just the way it is', translated, means 'I don't know how this works, so how can I know what is wrong with it, let alone fix it'. [}:)]
Continuous hiss is usually caused by the PR never reaching cutout pressure, maybe because either the bleed ball valve or, if it never clicks, the non-return valve in the PR need reseating (hitting with a drift!)
