If it leaks out of all it's orifices, you are kinda wasting your time giving the system a real good clean just yet.I'd start by pumping all the oil out you can then re-filling with fresh cheap oil, be it engine or hydraulic oil. Run the machine a bit and dump it again, re-fill then start chasing your leaks.I'd start at one spot and fix the leak, move on and on till they are all clean.Once you have most of the oily bits done, you can then concentrate on more oil flushes.IF you are planning on a full strip of the machine to do the leaks, there is no point flushing the oil, as you will have all the parts off and you can blow them out with compressed air.I have re-built machine from the ground up, so all the oil was removed and the system was squeaky clean.</blockquote>
