I have a 1989 Merc 135 HP outboard motor.
When I go to the garage each morning I see a small Pinkish / Purplish color fluid puddled in the stern of the boat just below the steering rod the engine glides across to direct the boats direction.
I laid down white paper towels under the motor to see if there were any other leaks...There are none. The paper towels are dry each morning...Thank God!
The motor is currently resting in the Down Position. I tilt it up when trailering the boat.
Does anyone have some input for me? Thank You.
1. Is this pink/puprple leak a BIG problem?
2. What's the ballpark price to fix this?
3. Is this Hydrolic Fluid leaking or something else?
