        I recently had a local shop change my hydraulic oil in my NT-254.  Now, two days after, my steering and FEL are barely working.  If I really rev up the engine, the hydraulic slowly pressure up.  I then get a foaming of yellowish milkfish brew coming out of the hydraulic oil vent on the cap. My neighbor says that is a sign of water in the hydraulic oil. 
        What is the best way to cleanse the water out of the system?  Just drain and replace?  Or what?  Any help would be appreciated.

          First, I would contact the people who replaced the hydraulic oil and find out what they really put in there.  Sounds to me that they should have the responsibility to fix it.  I would not run it until you know what they did.

            The foaming means the pump is sucking part oil, part air.  Sounds like it is very low on hyd oil or it is sucking air from a loose fitting.  You will have to let is sit for a while before you can check it as the foam has to settle.  As Ron suggested I would get a hold of the folks who changed it.
