The motor didn't originally have power tilt according to the guy I bought it from. He had it installed a few years ago. The unit leaks oil on top seal of cylinder when engaged up or down, works fine otherwise. I have an after market manual that shows the power tilt to have two cylinders, one for tilt & one for trim. The one I have only has 1 cylinder which controls both up and down??? I'm guessing this is from a different year or hp motor but not sure which. It looks factory, even color matches original motor color. I'm wanting to fix the leak but don't know what unit I have. The motor looks like the prestolite pump shown in the manual but with only 1 cylinder. Hoping someone can point me on what or where to look for. Or is this even worth fixing? Thanks
