I have a 1988 48 hp johnson with PT&T, the PTT leaks down after I raise it off it's lowest position. It does not leak oil externally, never see a drop leaked but I can raise it all the way up and after maybe 30 minutes it has leaked all the way down. Whether it is on trim or tilt position, it will leak down. I am ignorant of hydraulics, hoping one of you guys can tell me the likely problem.
Meaning is it likely one of the cylinders or the motor? Could it be that air is in the system? It is an old style system, 2 cylinders and the motor is mounted outside the outboard.
I include a picture of the type it is, this is not mine, my boat is still in storage yet.
