1970 Mercury Thunderbolt 1350

I was having trouble with my motor trim. I could tilt the engine in the up position, but it would only stay up for maybe a few hours.

Not knowing what I was doing, I added fluid to both cylinders with the trim in the down position. After doing so, the trim would not tilt the engine up any longer and the fluid started leaking out the bottom of the cylinders when I would run the trim motor.

I assume I need proper bleeding procedure.

Any any help is greatly appreciated, thanks
