B26 Hydraulic Fluid coming out of breather tube

[AlaskaJohn]

I have a 2013 B26 with 700 hours on it. It is 35 degrees outside so I started it and let it warm up for 15-20 mins. When I went back out to get on it, there was about 2 quart (I'd guess) of hydraulic fluid on the ground under the 3 pt. hitch area (I have the backhoe on it). The oil came from the breather tube next to the fill area for the hydraulic/transmission fluid.

I've checked the fluid level and it is low...of course. Also, the hydraulic fluid on the ground had a white milky look to some of it (water?).

Thanks for any help!

Just a guess, sounds like there was some water in a line that froze and caused an overflow. Are the connections for the bh attached properly?
