Default Bravo Gear oil leak at Gimble

Boat has been on the rack for 4 days, and when i went to the marina tonight i saw some Gear oil under the one drive. I traced it up the drive and into the Gimble. I guess it must be leaking where the resivour hose goes throught the gimble.

How does the hose connect here? is there a fitting with an end on each side, or is this one continuous hose??

How do i get at it to fix it ?

The plastic fitting that goes through the transom can crack. You need to remove the the hose inside by pushing the release on the 90deg hose fitting. Then remove the e-clip holding the thru-hull fitting (be careful not to lose it, or have another one handy). With the drive trimmed up and steered to port you may be able to push the fitting through. The replacement part should only have 2 barbs instead of 3. The fitting would crack at the thin area of the 3rd barb. Good luck!
