Give us a bit more info.
GPS speedo?
Standard?

Check on the outdrive at the pivot point underneath. There is a yellow fitting and a small black hose that generally pops off after time or a certain speed.
How fast were you travelling?

check the fitting outside between the gimbal assy and the drive. Look for the little black hose.

Or the intake on the drive got plugged if you hit a stick or something. If so a 7/64ths drill bit will do the trick for cleaning it out.
