If it has fluid in it or was under the water line it should be drained/inspected, no exceptions.

Brake fluid and coolant are likely fine. I would personally flush it all anyway.

Yeah but luckly I didn't get enough water in the engine to shoot out the turbo. But i have to really watch my fuel line and make sure enough water is out of it, I'm thinking of starting it again today but I gotta go and buy some anti-water fuel additve and diesel. I'm also hoping to luck out and bum enough money to get those wheel seals fixed and so that should be the last thing. I'm probably not going to tear apart the front end like I did the rear, I figure it'll be cheaper to flush it by running some cheap oil for 1/2 a mile, drain it, do it again, drain it, see how the stuff looks, maybe do it again. Because the seals cost twice as much as some of the oil. Back to the fact. I don't know how well it's going to do.... Hopefully good. Probably good. mymain weak points are I'm scared that I missed something, and I'm scared that the turbo is going to shoot out the *** end, and finally but not least. The transmission. But checking and then rechanging the oil in it very soon should help. Like after I get paid again.
