Not sure if yours has one or not but that may be the reason it appears to be leaking.... BTW my current Tiara which is a 38 Open has the same steering system and the breather cap also has an O-ring on it.... Both are Hynautics (Sea Star) steering systems...... M2C

Yes, that is the cap I am talking about. Evidently it is threaded and supposedly the threads that the cap screws into is aluminum and they are stripped out. So it leaks even with the O-ring. I am going to try to contact the manufacturer to see if there is a fix besides replacing the whole unit.

Thanks
