Water in hydraulic fluid

[jc longhorns]

I just discovered water in my hydraulic fluid of a JD 5210. I know it needs to be changed, but where did it come from? It has not been in water.

:welcome:
Has it been sitting outside? Has it been powerwashed?

Not sure where either, but will be good to get it changed.

Our gear shift boots are busted. We want to replace them then may keep a 5 gallon bucket over them after we change the fluid. We have a roof but not a cab.
