    You will have a suction strainer in the tank .You should also have a spin on or in the tank return hydraulic filter .

    have found the spin on filter cant see any other strainers/filters, will get the oil and filter changed and take it from there

    There should be a cover on top of the tank you can take off to look in the tank.
