Hillbilly's correct as usual, except it's "BLADDER".
Whenever I change the oil in mine (575SCi) it has what appears to be a mixture of oil, fuel, and water in it. I made a suction device to draw the old crap out of the reservoir. Since I'm probably not getting it all, I now change it every other time I change oil @ 25 hrs. I think they all leak water and fuel into the oil reservoir.

Steve

Hey Canada,
Never thought of that. I guess it's too obvious
, but I'll check it out. Bill, I made mine out of a old spray bottle tube and pump. The line can be bent to get down into those tight turns, like the oil reservoir on the fuel/water pump, which is a *****, and the oil resevoirs in the W256. It beats the hell out of taking these things off the motor to drain them.
Not technical, but essentially free and it works.
Regards,
Steve
