I have a mystery leak in my trim/tilt unit. Started about three weeks ago. Only noticed the puddle a few days after parking it in garage. Never seen ity leak a drop before.Topped the fluid up and seemed ok so went out again. Next day I went into the garage and a bigger puddle than last time on the floor. I had aready googled it and figured it was the trim rams so bought special tool and ordered seals. Did some more research and saw it may be an O ring between pump housing and unit but pain to get bolts loose without issues so I decided to do some more investigating. Filled unit up again with fluid and shoved paper tower in around the TT unit. cycled it up and down, tried leaving it down, then tried leaving it up. Hasn't leaked a drop.

Anyone have any ideas what is going on here? I did read somewhere that someone had leaks only in the cold.

Thanks

I had a leak a few years back on my trim tilt unit. New seal kit fixed it. I think it's the colder temps that causes this.
