All of a sudden I have lost the power steering on my D-17. I checked the level and the oil is milky making me think that I have water in it. Is this a good guess? How do I drain the fluid? I looked under it but can't find any drain plug.

Look under the right side toward the rear of the casting, its there, might need to srape and clean to find it.

Gary, thanks for the info. I found the plug there but don't have any 3/4 drive sockets that large at home and will have to get them from the shop tomorrow. It looks like an inch and a 1/16 or an inch and an 1/8.
