Ok, It's the outdrive rams, can you tell us exactly where the oil is leaking from? (i.e. where the oil lines exit the transom, where the oil lines connect to the rams, where the shaft meets the ram body, from the ram body itself, etc...)
Just for starters:
If the leak is at either end of the external feed lines, check for loose fittings or cracked lines.
If the oil is coming out where the shaft enters the Ram body then it might be possible to replace the end seal but without a close examination of the ram itself, it is impossible to tell. If this is the case, I would advise you to take it to a certified Mercruiser Service Shop for a through exam and be prepared to replace the ram if necessary.
Good luck and let us know what you find out

), would you mind describing what the "leveler" is and where is it located.
