Trim/Tilt is bleeding down ?

[Izzy650]

Hello, I'm in need of some help with a 2001 Johnson Ocean Pro 115. I noticed last week I left the motor tilted all the way up and the next day it had bleed off all the way down. I wasn't to worried till today when I was out fishing, when running out to my fishing hole the motor kept bleeding off and so I had to keep trimming it. So it's not leaking on the exterior, so I'm assuming it leaking by enternaly. So where do I start to fix this asap.

Thanks, Izzy

A start would be to check the emergency release valve and make sure it isn't loose. Check the fluid level.

On that mtr the manual release valve may be bad.
