70 HP - 2000 Trim leaking down

[RickN]

I have a 70 Hp - 2000 motor, I put the motor up using the power trim and leave it up and in about a week later it has slowly leaked down. When I check the trim fluid level it is full. Is there a bleed valve or something that could be causing this? Any ideas. Thanks

Leaving it trimmed up without the trailering lock puts a lot od stress on the tilt cylender A week is a pretty long time for it to hold up that engine. I'd recommend to either lower the engine when parked, or flip up the lock so you don't blow the seals in the cylendar.<br /> My 2 cents worth.
