[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 29238, member: 82"] Bobby - I skipped the part that mentioned it was a T180, so changing the case drain filters is a MUST. Its ever so slightly possible that the rag was the entry point for the water :) Cracking the lines at the cylinders is a good idea, but a real pain! It will however, get more oil/water out than any other way. Corey - The good thing with how the system is designed is that the reserve tank is higher than the pump, so it won't simply loose its prime leaving a lot of fluid in the tank. Your idea isn't bad though. Drain all you can, then start and squirt the oil that is still in the pickup line and pump. I believe you can get water absorbing filters too, but they will only absorb a small amount of moisture. So drain the oil a few times if required, and to get the last little bit, you may want to see if you can get one of these filters. I remember a user did this exact thing a year or two ago. Cheap filters and hooked them to the aux hydraulic lines. Also got some cheap(er) water absorbing ones too to get it super clean. [/QUOTE]
