REFLECTOR:Hydraulic pump leak

[Ronnie Brown]

Sounds like you are running it too full (or perhaps you need to replace the
oil ring).  I run my level between half and 2/3 full and never have had a
leak at the reservoir.  This is a very common compact electro hydraulic
pump - used on most of the newer in/out and outboards for the drive tilt.

See http://www.parker.com/ead/cm1.asp?cmid=246 - series 108.
