Howdy folks. Not new to Exmark (my 3rd), but new to this issue. I just bought this pioneer E 48", and it had cracks on the top of the hydro reservoir. I knew there was water in the hydro system from rain getting in. I of course drained both hydros (fluid was milky) and changed filters. Refilled system with fresh oil and ran unit. Hydros worked, but after a short time I can see milky oil in the reservoir. My question is, other than repeated oil and filter changes, are there any tricks to getting the water out of the system? Pulling the filters drains the units, but apparently some oil remains in the units. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! TB
