"Bellows hose? I assume you ar

"Bellows hose? I assume you are talking either about the front or the back of the bellows boot. Also, I assume you are talking about a 270 outdrive. Is that correct? In that case, there is not supposed to be any oil leaks, or even any oil inside the bellows. Make sure the bellows is in good condition, that it is correctly installed (there is a rib forward and another aft on the bellows that have to go inside grooves in the bellhousing and outdrive) and that the forward and aft hose clamps are tight. The likely source of that oil is a defective outdrive seal (part 21 in the following link).
