1953 Ford Jubilee with Sherman backhoe and Wagner loader. Radiator had leak so I
installed a rebuilt one I had in storage. Flushed the coolant system with water and
vinegar mix and then flushed with water several times.
Water in radiator has some small globs floating in it. When I stick my finger in and
feel it, the globs feel slick and smell exactly like the hydraulic fluid. To me
hydraulic fluid has a distinct acrid smell.
Anyway, there is no 'milking' up of engine oil in the crankcase(it's clear as new
oil). Vane style hydraulic pump.
Hydraulic fluid in sump is cloudy.
How can hydraulic fluid make it to contaminate radiator coolant?
Thanks
