air in hyd fluid

[yardBOTA]

My m8200 seems to be getting air in the hyd fluid evidenced by whitish fluid gushing out of the dipstick hole.
I thought it was water b/c it looked milky. i have no obvious hyd leaks so I think it is a suction v pressure thing.
Where start in ciphering this?
thanks bill g

I'd pull a sample and let it settle out in a glass jar to be sure it isn't water.

Whitish usually means water.

Check this vent.

Look for wetness around these areas.

Well, to hopefully get resolution on part of the issue, a true tractor mechanic came by today and the previous MEchanic had swapped two of the hoses. He swapped em back and loader works as it should vs doing the Watusi when moving the joystick.
