[AT] Hydraulic oil vs. motor oil

[louis at kellnet.com]

Back in the 80's our farm pick up was in the local Ford garage for about 3 
months.  They gave us a '78 F250 to use off the used car lot.  It was really 
low on oil and all I had was some John Deere HyGard (Hydraulic/Trans oil). 
I put about 4 quarts in that 351 and ran it like that with no problems.

I have a leak between the power steering pump and the engine block on my 
Case 430 industrial.  I have about two hours of run time left before I 
finish the project I'm working on.  Will it hurt the engine if I keep using 
it knowing that the engine oil is getting contaminated by hydraulic oil?  I 
can tear it all apart before I finish, but I'd really like to get this 
project done first.

Enjoy, Joe
