Leaking trim cylinder OMC Stringer....help!

[Manipulator]

OMC Stringer 1983 GM 5.7L right trim cylinder is leaking hydraulic fluid big time. I filled the reservoir and ran the trim up, filled again, ran it down and topped if off. Went in the house for about ten minutes and came out to discover the right front cylinder is leaking. Funny thing is the engine still was elevated. Anyway, I will have to replace it or take it out and somehow put new seals in. Has anyone had a similar problem? Looks like a major job. Does anyone know if they sell rebuilt cylinders anywhere? How hard is it to put new seals in? Also, if I were to do this, is there a way to support the engine in order remove the cylinder/mount?

if you search the threads, I'm pretty sure someone recently reported getting parts from dougrussell.com<br /><br />can just block the engine with wood.
