Angry Looks like the Exxon Valdez ran aground in my bilge!

I found the source of my oil slick in the bilge Seems to be a pinched drive trim line pissing oil

My question is how the hell do I replace it, the hose runs back out of site (and reach) through the transom plate and a different hose connects outside on the bottom of the Gimbal. What do I have to do to get to this hose

Oh yeah, in case it matters I have TRS drives w/ Speedmaster transom plates.

Go to the bottom of the gimble assy.outside of boat where the lines attach that feed the trim cylinders ,remove two nuts and pull the distribution block down . The hose in question attaches to the top of this block. Determine which hose is leaking,unscrew it and see if you can move it by pulling and pushing on the hose .If it moves attach a string or piece of wire to it and pull it out ,use the string to pull new hose in.

Hope this will work for you!
