glad that wet stuff on the outside was hydraulic fluid i can almost certainly guarantee if that had been me it would not have been hydraulic fluid and epa would have been notified of a toxic waste spill upon landing....great job tupac.

Why would hydraulic fluid cause smoke?
Probably has something to do with the reason why the gear lever was hot. Did the problem originate with the hydraulic fluid or did something else break and cause the leak?

From the photo it looked like the leak was in the engine compartment...ANY oil hits hot engine parts you will have smoke.

Tupac, did it actually burn your skin?  or was it just uncomfortably hot?  Did you have the heat on? (wondering if the hot air was blowing on the handle warming it up)

I have blisters on my ring finger, middle finger, and thumb from the heat. It was hot enough that the firefighters thought there had been a fire behind there.

I think had it not been for the adrenaline I wouldnt have been able to get the gear down. I didn't realize the handle was so hot until I had been on the ground for about 15 minutes and my hand started to hurt really bad.

You ain't kidding. They do all sound quite similar, I can tell who it is at SAT by their voices but thats about it.

Isn't the electric hydraulic pump aft of the baggage compartment co-located with the hydraulic reservoir?  If so the pump running continuous and getting hot wouldn't heat up the manual pump handle.

I'm going to guess the next time you pre-flight the airplane you take a real close look at the hydraulic lines and fittings. <G>

The hydraulic reservoir is forward of the firewall IIRC

Ok.  I haven't flown a 210.  The Cardinal and Cutlass have the reservoir aft.

Let us know what  you find out.
