Yamaha Tilt/Trim Leak ?

[LECTRICFISHRMAN]

Yamaha 2006 115 FS seems to be leaking behind the zinc at the back of the transom ? No obvious signs of seals or pistons leaking that I can see ? Only droplets in the water . Someone said that Yamaha recommended 5-20 motor oil , others say only Automatic Transmission Fluid ? What is the best ATF to use ? Thanks for any help w/ my 1st. post ....

My 1999-2002, 115-250hp Yamaha shop manual indicates Dextron II automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the tilt/trim systems. Maybe someone with a newer book will chime in.
