"What year and engine is this one?

The 1st pic. of the white bottle w/black cap looks like the antifreeze (green) coolant overflow reservior.

The 2nd pic. w/2 hyd. hoses is the OD hyd. oil pump over top of the oil reservior w/yellow cap. The level looks fine and the oil does not get changed unless contaminated; leave it alone. The oil is either hydraulic (if semi-clear), automatic transmission (if red)or engine (if amber)."

"2nd resevoir is for the tilt/trim pump.. looks about normal.. watch for cracks in the plastic and oil underneath it.

The 1st one could leak from a few places.. follow the hose ( underneath the bottle ) into the transom, it could just be low from the last service of removing the outdrive, or checking the gear oil in the outdrive. Mercruiser Hi-Performance Gear Oil is recommended."

Thank you and thank you Brian. I understand the functions of those resevoir now. I will start follow your advice and start looking for leak.
