Drive slowly dropping
I have a 87' with Alpha drives, when setting ether in the trailer position or down my port drive slowly drops ( an inch or two a day ) can anyone help me with this? could I be low on oil?

not low on oil . You either have a bad seal in one of the rams or a problem in the pump itself. In the service manuel there is a series of test to locate the problem.

depending on the year trim pumps are either internally bypassed or have a manual release. look for a sloted screw head between the trim lines and check for tightness. other wise the suggestions abvove pretty much sum it up.
