There is no way any water could have gotten in,

Condensation inside the tank slowly builds up in the bottom of the tank,
eventually it'll start to be drawn off with the oil.

the unit has been pretty much sealed since the last filling (over 8
months ago) so wouldnt that have shown up sooner?

More likley you are out of oil after 8 months, we can just about do 8
months over the summer and thats 2000l of oil. Just ordered another 2000l
after the last top up late Sept. Check the level. BTW you may need to
open a valve at the bottom of the sight tube to get the current reading.
Sight tubes should not be routinely left with the valve open in case they
fail and leak.
