"Gearboxes, pumps and reservoirs have to "breathe" when the air expands and contracts, as well as when incoming fluid displaces air, or when air is drawn in when hydraulic components activate. The simple solution to these problems is the use of desiccant breathers, which can stop water and particulates from contaminating the lubricant in the first place."
