Trim / Tilt Repair

[Gulfstream G]

Has anyone that had their trim piston seals replaced experienced a slick temporarily post-repair? Just had one of my seals done and still have a slick showing after raising/lowering the engine. Repair shop said that this sometimes happens if their is any residual fluid left over from the repair. I have a Gulfstream with a single F-225 on a bracket and the pistons are right at the water line when raising or loweing the engine. Repair shop said to watch it for a couple of weeks and if the motor starts to struggle raising and lowering the engine to bring it back.

replaced 3 out of four on mine at different times never had post repair leak, resudial fluid cleaned off before relaunch should be standard pratice, wait a couple weeks with salt water in hyd system you could recive HUGE repair bills

Only residual oil should be what didn't get wiped off the exterior during the repair.
