Let me start by saying I am mechanically illiterate. If you have an answer for me please don't assume I know anything about the subject matter. Please respond as you would to a child, lol Thank you for your patience. I am retired on a limited income and have to try to fix things myself where possible.
I have a 1996 Crestliner Sportfish with a Mercruiser 3.0 and Alpha 1 out drive. I took the boat out Tues 3/5 and everything seemed to work great. Got it home and parked it in the garage and later noticed a 3 inch round spot of oil under my out drive. I crawled under and the leak seems to be coming from about a 1/4 inch hose that comes out thru the bellows area from the motor. The end of the hose has a plastic fitting that is unattached to anything. The oil is leaking from that fitting. I can't find a place that looks like the fitting should re attach. Any ideas? Also included some pics to help in my explanation.
