T-Bone , TY for compliment, I am a slow typist, right index finger only... What I was basing my comments on was an incident with an injection molding machine. The heat exchanger sprung a leak, letting quite a few gallons of oil get into hydraulic oil. Idiot Plant Manager said to keep machine running, after several days oil turned into a white, foamy, jelly-like smelly goop. For the next year, we spent tens of thousands on oil changes, new pump cartridges, rebuilding valves etc.
It is my understanding that as oil enters vanes of a pump, under a vacuum, water in oil will boil, causing all kinds of nasty effects to the oil , as well as the pump. All in all oil is cheap. Regards, Davis
