Hi all. A while back I was discussing my power steering losing fluid and I thought it was leaking through the bottom steering column valve into the tranny. I have to add about 4 ounces of oil back into the pump each time I use the tractor. It turns out it s actually leaking into the crank case. My tractor has a Perkins diesel and I will be looking into replacing the pump, but in the meantime how bad of an issue is having hydraulic oil in the engine? I will drain some of the oil back out so it s back in the normal range on the dipstick. Do I need to do anything else like adding SAE 10W-30 oil, etc.?
PS: The power steering fluid I am using now is Tractor Supply Travelers Universal Transmission & Hydraulic Oil (10W 30 premium mineral oil)
Tractor SN 9A239989
Pump looks to be PN 888744M93 (per AGCO) can also be 518369M93 (per AGCO Drawings) or 773126M91 / 773126M92 from online sources.
Thanks,
Doug
