Newbie needs real help...

[93 Regal USAF]

I'm sure this would have gone without saying by the question I'm about to ask, but I am a newbie and need some insight. I know these are hydraulic hoses, and I assume they run the power trim, but where can I get a set of these? They are leasking in multiple places and I just assume to replace all four. Can I get them froom the website here? By the way, this is the first boat I've ever owned. It's a 1993 Regal Valanti 206SE with the 4.3L Alpha One. If anyone could give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it. Also, I am glad to be here trying to soak up the knowledge this forum has to offer.

Are you seeing an actual leak (fluid present) or are you just seeing a discoloration and assuming it's a leak?

When I swing the lower end unit, fluid starts dripping from both sides. Basically, all four hoses are leaking from one end or the other.

Well, you probably need 4 new hoses. Problem is WHY. They all don't start leaking at the same time like that. That is a problem in itself.
Did someone forget to tighten them? Has work been done on the cylinders?

I don't know if any work has been done on the hyd cylinders, but I did take it in to have a compression check done. I can't see how that would affect those cylinders though.

Where would the resevoir be for these cylinders, in the engine bay? The hoses seem ed to be on there snug with no signs of crossthreading, so I'm not sure.

I don't think they all just stared to leak at once, I think I have just noticed them today.

Just went out and took another look at the hoses, and it seems to be leaking from where the coupler is crimped onto the metal tuning, if that makes sense.
