Hi, I have a 1986 Alpha One outdrive, that appears to be leaking fluid from one of the hydraulic lines. Can I just remove it, replace it, top off the fluid with 10w30, and be done with it? Or do I need to bleed the system somehow after I replace the line?<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br />Brian

Re: hydraulic fluid leak

Top off the resivoir and it will self bleed as you tilt up and down. Recheck the level a time or two and you should be good to go!
