Kad 32 Fuel Leak??

[YachtKahlua]

Hi All,
I have a Kad32 in my boat, a Jenneau Leader 705. Recently I've noticed that when the boat rocks in the wind, or I step onboard from the dock, a bit of diesel appears out the back of the boat. This is with engine not running.
There is nothing obvious in the boat itself, all appears dry and normal.
Is it possible it could be coming through the engine somewhere and out the exhaust? Or anyone got another idea?

outdrive seal leaking ?

outdrive seal leaking ?

I guess it could be, anyway to check without taking boat out of the water?
I initially thought diesel as it has a black/grey appearance on top of the water where I always associated oil with a "rainbow" look

move the OD up and down, if more oil, dud seals likely
Can ‘just’ replace the seals

could be from the hydraulics that lift the drive....check levels in reservoir
