after driving boat for a whil

after driving boat for a while when i get to launch ramp after i trim outdrive up to put on trailer i noticed an oil slick around the back of my boat does anyone know what causes this and a way to fix it thanks Eric
 
Possible leak in the trim mot

Possible leak in the trim motor..? Or if you are running a 'rich' fuel/oil mixture it might be the residual oil that has not been burnt...?
 
Trim rams or outdrive. Simply

Trim rams or outdrive. Simply check levels when on trailer (leg down) and chase whatever is down on oil. If its the rams (or hoses to the rams) then they will need reconditioning. If outdrive oil is low then you will need to determine which seal or gasket is the culprit. Good luck. Aldo
