TRS Drive leaking oil in the water...help??

My drives were trimming up at different speeds, so I went back and took a look to find that there was a rainbow behind the boat. My guess would be that the actuator (sp??) has a leaky seal. Has anyone ever Rebuilt one? What parts do I need and where can I get them?

I've had a similar problem--after installing new ones--the hydraulic fittings are a PITA to ge the right tightness without stripping the threads from overtightening or being too loose from not getting them snug enough.

Might check that out first--

Yeah that could be it. They may have been overtightened last time. The oil could be just leaking through the fittings. I'll check that out first.
