I forgot to add that I have been sucking out the dirty fluid from the reservoir and topping it off with fresh fluid. I haven't actually flushed it out yet though, and last time I cleaned it out the fluid was pretty much black.

As for using the wrong weight fluid, I dont think that's the problem. Although I wish it was as simple as that!
