drive fluid in bilge
 
Can't find where the fluid is coming from, any sugestions on where to look, have checked and looked at all obvious points

Man just went though this. traced the whole system. reseviour, hose, to the gimble... never a leak.

Turns out the Yoke seal will go bad. then will leak fluid back into the bilge, and the resevior will keep filling the drive up as it leaks, and all you see is fluid leaving resevior, and it in the bottom of the bilge.

here is the thread I started. and had both fixed, and no more leaks.

Sucks to pull a drive to find out but thats the only way.

once you pop drive off the boots will be full of drive fluid where its been leacking back in.

then you know.

the seal its self is like 24 bucks. its just putting it on the drive.
