Stering fluid leak

[bago]

I have a steering fluid leak coming from the lower back end of the steering reservoir\pump.It`s not the two hose connections .It seems to come from a recessed hole in that area.Can somebody point me out where to look in order to repair it?No one likes oily messy engines.Thank you!

Here is a link to the OEM service manual for your drive (and power steering)
http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/6/6covr3.pdf

Scroll to the last page (manual outline) and click on the LETTER of the section you want to view.
Section 6A is what you want.
