[QUOTE="JAMaulden, post: 109724, member: 18320"] So I recently bought a T190 with 3600 hrs on it and have started going through it really well. And found a few things that concern me. Unsure if they are related. Upon inspection I NC kind hydraulic fluid in the coolant reservoir about 3/4 of an inch floating on top of the coolant. I took the reservoir off clean ones it out and topped off with fresh coolant. It has run for about an hour since with no sign of oil returning. I can’t think of any way hydraulic oil could cross over into the coolant. My best guess and hope is that someone just accidentally poured it in there thinking they were filling the hydraulic tank. Second and possibly slightly related and more of a concern, I can’t see into my hydraulic oil sight glass. It is milky but it seems to be the glass that’s discolored and not the oil. I haven’t had a chance to drain the oil and replace the filter yet so I’m not sure. I honestly thought about parking sideways on a hill and unscrewing the sight glass and checking it and replacing it if need be. I thought that may be the quickest way to check. The unit is due for a service in 60 hours and I was just hoping to do it all at once. Any thoughts or word of wisdom are welcome. I just hope I didn’t step into pile.... [/QUOTE]
