2007 volvo penta outdrive and the trim pump is outside the boat next to the outdrive. Where do u ck the fluid level at? it has a small leak where the hoses go into the pump and the fluid is milky like it has water in the fluid. I just dont see where to ck the fluid at.thanks

Note, the drive must be down to check.

ok thanks im gonna ck it now. It appears to be leaking from behind the lil plate where the 4 hoses attach. Is this common? can water get into the system from there? Should i flush out the system to remove milky fluid?

There are a couple of orings that go between the pump and the plastic cover the hoses go into. No part numbers and they don't show up in the manual either, matter of fact, there is nothing in the manual about those sorry pumps.
