[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 129065, member: 13825"] sounds like you have water in the hydraulic system, which, mans you need to fully, or as close to it as possible;e, drain the whole system, and not just the reservoir tank (as the water most likely will be below the tank,,as the oil will float to the top of things, and water sit in lower spots in the system) and then replace filter again with a new one, and IMO< I would also then be doing this again in a short period of time, to try and get the rest of the water out of system, and doing it with a fairly HOT system, as the water will mix into things and be more likely to be drained,! as there is NO real way to 100% drain things, to remove ALL water! (unless you get crazy and remove every hose and flush things, which NO one will do) so you can/might still end up with some water in system, so, a second close timed draining/filter change, will help remove more leaving water in the system will/can l cause other things to fail or shorten there life span on them, leading to larger costly repairs! so, trying to get all the water out as possible is your main goal here! sucks, and won;'t be cheap, but is what it is! you can also drain oil into a clear container(or some of it) and look at it to see if its milky, or leave in the sun, and watch as the oil separates from it, as time passes, the water will sink to the bottom of container, to give you an idea on how contaminated it is!
