I've noticed that my oil appears to be "coffee with creamer color". I believe it is water. When I drain the oil I'll put some in a clear jar and let it sit to see if it separates into oil and water to make sure. I will change oil & filter but am concerned with the fluid remaining in the lines to the loader and to the 3 pt hitch. Cannot figure a way to get that oil completely out (aside from disconnecting everyline).
Is there anything I can add to the old oil before draining or add to the new oil after change that would grab and hold the water from the remaining oil until the next change? Looking for advice on how thorough I have to be in changing the oil?
I think the water may have gotten in from above where the cover over the transmission is located. I'll clean the one dirty area on the backside of the plate and it will get dirty again. It is a very small leak as the oil never drips off the side it just collects dirt. Would silicone sealing this area from the outside keep the water out? Probably not that hard to change the gasket I suppose if water is in the oil.
