"creamy hood oil" question

hey guys my hood got stuck down a few weeks ago and i had to do the "emergency manual closure".
that all went fine and when i got a chance i checked the oil level and bled it as shown below. all ok.
my question is this….

 my oil looks perfect in colour and level when the hood hasnt been moved for say ten  mins, i lower or raise it and look in the pump reservoir and the oil is creamy looking and there is more of it. let it settle and it goes back to normal.

my guess is that its getting air into it somewhere, but the hood goes up and down ok, its a little slower going up than when we got it too. can anyone shed any light or had it happen to them?

could it be tiny bubbles that make it look creamy??? :dontknow: i will look at mine tomoz,and see if mine does it :dontknow:

Forgot to ask is your roof jerkey when you open/close,search a post CABBY ROOF FOLDS FUNNY. :dontknow:  :wink:

only when the main joints fold straight or unfold. the usual i believe?
put it up last night its sooooooo sooooooo much slower than when we got it last year!

opened and closed the roof a few times and not creamy :dontknow:

i didnt think it would be!    anyone got any ideas?

you must have a leak somewhere, maybe thats why it became stuck down prior to changing the oil.A visual check when opening and closing is the obvious answer.
Failing that ,using your manual for guidance, disconnect the hydraulic unit  including all pipes a inspect it including any seals which have most likely perished.

any ideas where i can get the seals?

i assume your going to try my suggestion, good man
any vw dealer would be a good start.
ask on here if someone can get you the part numbers from etka then you`ll have more chance locating some.
good luck and let us know how you get
