Default Outdrive wont stay up

I have a small puddle of fluid on the ground below my bravo one outdrive. When I trim it all the way up in the garage it will leak down and within an hour or two be touching the ground. Anyone know where I should start looking for the leak?

First place I would look is where your lines connect to the manifold on the bottom of the gimble assembly. Part #30 in the diagram. It would be one of the up lines if the drive is falling.

1 hr....where is the fluid coming out at? Lines, end of cyl rod, manifold? Pretty much your options there.
