Expensive Screw up

I added some ( thought it was)hydrolic fluid to my 2017 XR4150H. What I didn't realize is that the bucket had leaked rain water into it. The oil on top looked fine but I used a hand pump pushed to the bottom. Probably put about a gallon of water in. Noticed my brakes were groaning . I've changed it 3 times draining the filters but not replacing them. I'm thinking I'll change the oil and filters and call it good.

If you've got most of the water out you should be okay. The filters should trap water and the hot hydraulic fluid should speed its evaporation. Summer temperatures should assist that.
