2003 Volvo Penta SX Trim leak

[03cara]

Hi, I'm new to iBoats and this is my first post. I just bought a used 03 Caravelle with the Volvo Penta SX, and noticed when I have the outdrive trimmed right up to the top it leaks hydraulic fluid. It appears that it's coming from the top of the cylinder. If I lower it slightly, it stops! Any ideas...

Thanks

There's Seals there that can be replaced...

Thanks, that's exactly what I plan on doing, just keep it down a nudge and keep
an eye on it.
