Obviously a military acft. C-130?
Once the moisture is in Your hydraulic-oil, within an active acft H-system it is impossible to remove, other than purging the system [drain/replace all fluid]. This is very tedious and expensive. However excessive H2O in Your system is hydraulic system source of severe damage: FREEZING [ice crystals, excessive viscosity, density, blockage]; BOILING [hot-pumps, air bubbles/cavitation, excessive power-draw]; CORROSION [air+moisture+steel/CRES/Aluminum]; maintenance, etc... among many-other system threats [and performance oddities] that must be eliminated, fast.
Ensure that all leaking H-system components are repaired [fluid-leaks-out, air leaks in].
Ensure H-service carts ["mules"] are purged with clean fluid within chemical limits, so they atre not a source of contaminates [wet air, particulates, etc].
Ensure new/fresh -83282 fluid is charged into Your system.
NEVER allow -5606, -87257 or 83252 to intermix, except on a very minute basis. Generally speaking, the poorest characteristics of each fluid type will dominate the mix.
Also, wherever there are gas-charged static or pressure-chamber/reservoir [IE: fluid reservoir, pre-charged cylinder, LDG Strut, tires, etc] it absolutely necessary that they be charged with verified DRY NITROGEN [as close to 100% as possible]. Dry nitrogen ensures, freedom from moisture and an inert gas environment. Any trace of moisture is less of a corrosion threat in a pure nitrogen environment [no/trace oxygen and moisture]. Also, by eliminating any compressed oxygen [~30% atmosphere] the threat for system [hot] diesel/detonation is eliminated.
I discovered a long time ago that transient maintenance on a FOB or civilian airfield with minimal military presence generally leads to maintenance short cuts such as using compressed air [ILO certified dry nitrogen] and substitute H-fluids to get a system "topped-off" [book seez it's OK, why not?!?]. Then everyone forgets what was done as an expedient... and the system [tires, struts, etc] were not re-serviced to eliminate the long-term issues/threat that the “expedient” maintenance posed [“Aw it’ll be OK”].
