Re: Tilt/Trim Problem on Volvo Penta 3.0 GXi with SX/A Drive

hello I have the same trim pump as elf62. but mine is leaking fluid from behind the cover plate. the pump is still working but its gushing out fluid. so basically I cannot raise or lower my trim without topping off the reservoir. and of course leaking fluid all over in the water. does anyone have a fix for this that doesn't require replacing the pump?

I talked with Volvo customer service and they told me it might be possible to replace the o rings with something I can find from an automotive store. but of course they are held in to the pump by a retaining clip which I have no idea how to remove.

it also could be leaking out of that white plug on the side can I get a replacement plug for that? that area does appear to be the area where most of the fluid is coming out
