mercury 4.3 alpha 1 gen 2 on a 1997 wellcraft eclipse

so over the winter i rebuilt my motor. took it out for the maiden voyage, and after about 3-4 hours it suddenly developed a leak that had the auto bilge pump kicking on every 8 minutes. i found out where the leak is coming from, but i cant find any info thats useful... its coming in from the plate that the trim lines bolt to. it looks like something fell off judging by how clean the surface is.... the neon green is actually gear oil i dropped in from the bilge to see if i could find the leak... it reflects good in the camera light
