BX23 Cream colored hydraulic fluid after 2 exchanges

[nyone]

found my water source.
The SUD2 spout had failed, and let the clear liquid into my 'trusted' can.
So no machine problems, strictly system 'operator' failure

You left a 5gal but of oil out in the rain? That's an expensive mistake.

No, it was in a rubbermaid suburb 'closet', but got me none the less!

Got the loader cleared - opened all the hoses, drained the cylinders and 'rolled' the loader with a chain, carefully, so everybody got a chance to be the low point.

Not looking forward to doing the backhoe!
6 cylinders, no common pairs...

BH messed up my nice amber fluid.
I blew out the feed/return lines as I hooked up.
Then did the 3 easy cylinders, 2 stabs and the bucket. Lifted the BH with stabs, and then as I rotated the bucket to install the BH, muscle memory kicked in and I used the dipperstick - arg!!
(I am amazed how much more fluid is in the cylinders, but think of soups cans - cans - when the rod is extended.)
Next I did the dipperstick cylinder, and when I purged the lines I was back to cream - amber cream, but cream none the less.

Hoping to go to the valves and blow out the boom and swivel from there - cylinders just too hard to get to easily.
