I have an 1988 4.3 OMC that has started to leak trim fluid under water. All the lines, motor and reservoir in the boat are not leaking. Would new cylinders take care of the leak or could it be lines to the cylinders under water?(cylinders were showing considerable wear) Any help appreciated!

Put it on trailer, wipe ALL the oil off the cylinders, fittings, hoses. Operate the trim, see where the oil is coming out. Might be a cylinder seal, might be a loose fitting...
