Speedmaster #3 that lowers it self
I have a problem with one of my drives lowering it self when my boat sits on the lift with the drives in trailer position. I was told that it might be an O-ring in the pump but not it is. I have tjeked for leaks. Any suggestions ?

The O rings he's talking about are in the trim cylinders.
It's relatively common for these to leak when they age. You should be able to get a cylinder rebuild kit. I rebuilt my cylinders with kits.

Not a good idea to leave the drive in trailer position. There is no benefit (unless your slip is so shallow it bumps the bottom) and it:
1) stretches the bellows
2) allows crud to accumulate on the trim ram piston rods
Yes the leak is probably internal in one or both of the cylinders.
