I have a 01 Volvo Penta SX duo prop drive and I'm getting a water Leak at the rear of the engine in the y pipe area. It only leaks when the leg is down. When the leg is up the leak stops. I've attached a video of where it's leaking from. Any ideas what this is?

If the leak varies when you trim the drive up n down first thing I’d do is pull the drive bet you have a leaky bellows. Should be pulling the drive each season & checking the bellows; as soon as you see any small cracks in the folds change it! My Cobra bellows last approx 10 seasons before I see cracks…..
