Trim & Tilt motor spits oil all around area when used

Trim & tilt motor works fine except it spits oil when used.
I don't know exactly were
I use boat monthly and with other issues trim & tilt was not a priority . Topping off often I have a rag under motor but now want this fixed
Motor is easy too get too
Once I remove what should I look for ?
I am second owner , owing 10 years,. Boat is a 1984 and don't know if it ever was replaced or original but it works fine.

I see there are gasket kits for this motor.
Is changing gaskets a reasonable simple process ?

thanks

If it is spitting oil, then probably not working fine. Check the fittings for the hoses at the pump. Also check the hoses for leaks, etc. if those check out, then move onto the pump itself

Not trying to hijack, but I'm having the same issue. Do you happen to have a link to the gaskets you found?
