Need help with trim pump

I don't know a thing about a trim pump so bear with me. My pump started making a terrible noise today while fishing, so I went and took the boat out, and at the ramp, I trimmed it. As it trimmed I noticed fluid leaking out of the top line on the assembly(small metal hose has a pin hole)I need to know what the proper name for this line is so I can call around, and where I might purchase one that is in stock(best chance to find it locally)? The motor is a '97 Yammie 2 stroke.
I also could use some advice on what kind of fluid to get to fill it back up, and the proper method to fill it up again?
Please help me 'cause I can't bear to see her sick like this, and I am supposed to be going out of town fishing this weekend, which is why I can't risk putting her in the shop. They might take to long with her.
Thanks, Fish Masterson.

Choose from the left hand menu, parts catalog for the proper part and name, owners manual for the recomended fluids and such :-D :beer:

Thanks Wevans, it looks like I may have found the right part and got it ordered today from Big Bend in Perry. No one had one in stock, as I assumed. Big Bend seemed sure that they could have it here by Wednesday :thumbup: .
The part had a highly technical name just as I suspected it would. They called it "PIPE" :smt005 .
Thanks again, Fish Masterson
