Hydraulic steering lines layout or diagram 31 CB

[Orcasjane]

Hi, does anyone have or know the layout of the hydraulic steering lines for a Ranger Tug 31CB? I have a persistent leak that 3 different mechanics cannot find. Hydraulic steering fluid is arriving in the state room closet. I have had the steering repaired 4 time in a year with no luck. The mechanics have searched the whole boat and removed the fridge all in vain, yet I have fluid soaked pads in my closet weekly. I asked Kenny Mars for a diagram since there is not one in the manual had have had no reply. Has anyone else had this issue? Or understand where the lines to the upper helm run? I really need help with this situation, thanks! Any ideas welcome.

Hello,

The hoses run down by the radio remote in the galley, if you remove the top galley drawer you can see the connections there as well. Honestly you could have a bad helm pump at the main helm a I have seen that before. Is there any fluid under the helm on the brown vinyl and floor? If you would like please email me some pictures of the areas of fluid. My email is below.

Thanks,
