Need forklift advice

I can't agree with him though at this point, because since he left I went and traced out all the hoses, and I don't see anywhere that the two systems merge.

I agree, pretty sure they're separate systems. Both of mine are separate, and so were the last two I worked on.
 
Most of the forklifts are driven by hydraulic motors, draining the whole hydraulic system and changing the filters is a must, don't evan try to start it because you'll end up with mayonnaise in the hydraulic system, water is heavier than oil and sits on the bottom, if there is no oxygen there shouldn't be any rust.
