What causes hydraulic fluid to become milky or cloudy?

 If you've ever pulled the cap of the reservoir on a hydraulic system and seen the liquid appearing milky white, light grey, or cloudy instead of its normal transparent reddish or amber tone, it's an indication of danger that should not be overlooked. The discoloration isn't just cosmetic; it's an indication that something's gone wrong in the system, and ignoring it or the need to address it could lead to increased damage, failure of components, and expensive downtime.
