What should I do about motor oil in a hydraulic system? I accidentally added some before realizing it was the wrong fluid? Do I need to flush it out? Is it okay to let things run with it in there?

It shouldn't really hurt anything. If it was a small percentage of the total amount in the system.

I would flush it all out. Machines can be fickle about mixing fluids like that. If anything, you'll be losing some of your hydrolic...............capabilities?
