I've been putting this 873 bobcat back together after a major fire, it's up on blocks and everything has been replaced,

Ive added fluid to the sight glass and ran the machine it disappeared, so I added more, a total of about 8 gallons.

After the machine runs for about 2 minutes the fluid in the sight glass turns white, if I Iet it sit for 30 minutes it changes back to clear,

I'm still in testing state, the machine is on blocks, another issue is that the arms won't lift and the wheels won't stop rotating, any help or comments are appreciated.

For reference this is a bobcat 873 f series with a Deutz 2011, saur danfoss 40 series pump and foot control unit.
