My starboard trump pump tank seems to have sprung a leak. I found a good bit of red fluid in my bilge today. Are these available seperate from the entire pump?. Anybody ever replace one? How difficult is it? BTW 89 gen one white plastic tank.
 
If its red it may be power steering fluid. You may need to do a bit more investigating.
 
It's definately coming from the trim pump, leaking right out the bottom of the tank area.
 
Ordered a new tank from Michiganmotorz, under $40, should be here by end of week. BTW, they said that ATF was recommended back in the day. So, hopefully, I won't need a new pump, they are between $300 and $550 depending on if you use a Merc or an SEI pump.
