At the end of the summer I went to pick up my boat from storage and I saw that the outdrive must have lost pressure because it was sitting in the dirt. I forgot to tie it up as you usually do, so I turned on the battery and raised it up, but then I noticed some oil dripping from the outdrive which worried me. I was far away from home so I just tied it up and towed it home for winter. I'm now starting to get the boat ready for summer. I checked my fluids and lowered the unit and ran it on muffs. The next day I went to raise the unit and it went up without any problems but I got a small puddle of oil. The 4 hydraulic lines seem to not leak but there seems to be leak where a 5th small hose connects near the exhaust bellow (I think that's what it is). Forgive me I'm far from a boat mechanic but I'm hoping it just an o-ring I can replace but I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
Please see the attached photos, they show where I believe the oil is coming from.
By the way what fluid is this hose it carrying?
