As far as pulling the plug and seeing water, you most likely WON'T, the hydraulic fluid turns a milky color when it is contaminated with water.. The hydraulic fluid should be CLEAR, if milky or off color (the replacement fluid I got from the dealer is red) it needs changed..
Really? :S Tell you what. You take a cup of hydraulic fluid and 3 oz of water, put them in a jar and put it on a shelf and after month or even a week look at them and see if you have a milky color. Then get back here and tell us the results. :B
BTW we are talking about engine oil here, not hydraulic oil. I've had engines sit for years and years and years and no water in the sump. You think with all these engines that sit for months and months in the winter there would be failures right and left. Other people and I must be really lucky! :B
