No. Air is compressible and fluid is incompressible. So if air is in the hydraulic lines, it will make the fluid act differently; if the fluid is pushing a piston it will be more spongy. Hydraulic fluid(an oil) is usually under high pressure, like 3,000 psi. This causes any small amount of air to go into the solution of the oil. Most Hydraulic Systems return fluid to a reservoir and the reservoir allows the air to "boil out" of solution and is released.
