I noticed a slight leak in the left hydraulic cylinder that raises and lowers my outdrive. This is on a Volvo Penta 5.0 I/O. So I lowered the outdrive and in doing so quite a bit more fluid came out during the process. I removed the cylinder and there's a top plate with 4 shallow holes where the shaft goes in that needs to come off. There must be a special tool for this. Once I get the top plate off I'm hopping I can replace the "O" ring that has gone bad causing the leak. Now I just need to figure out how to bleed the system???
