Trying to fix the foamy hydraulic fluid issue in my b6200d. Fluid foams when in use, but clears up after a few hours. Getting air somewhere but want to ensure the hydraulics are venting. I have heard the vents plug up. I have read that the vent is under the top link bracket, but for the life of me I cannot find it. Help me identify it in pics below...

Just guessing that the B6200 is similar, on a B7100 it is #24 (red arrow) in the pic below.

If you look at your 3rd pic, you see the (4) holes for mounting the top link bracket- there appears to be a 5th hole in the same location as the B7100 breather. I think this is the place where the breather would be.

Yep Lil Foot got it!
Normally fluid does not foam from a plugged vent.
The normal cause of foamed fluid is from a leak on the suction side of the pump, check the fittings / connections, the pipe, and the hose for any seeping leaks.
Water in the fluid can also cause it to foam.

I am sorry, I looked behind the top link bracket but its not there. My 6200 is manual in case its different from HST…Does anyone know where the vent would be? Thanks
