Oil Sampling Reveals Air in Oil
 
While pulling a sample from a reservoir, an exceptional amount of air was found in the hydraulic fluid. The suction-side components were sprayed with mineral oil to locate where air was being ingested. The pump became quieter after the input shaft seal was sprayed. The sprayed oil was seen being drawn into the pump. A check of the pump revealed a worn bearing and shaft seal, which were attributed to oil contamination. The pump was replaced, and the source of contamination entry was located. The bottom line is to listen when your oil talks to you. (Mike Deal, Alcan Aluminum)
