About 2 months ago i bought a 2005 Chaparral 190 ssi (Alpha 1 Gen 2) with 88 hrs. I took it out the first weekend and ran fine. The second time i took it out, as soon as i started it the buzzer alarm went off. I found out that the drive oil reservoir was completely empty and there was drive oil sitting under the engine. I took it to the shop and had the yolk and seal replaced then pressure tested. The mechanic pressure tested the out drive at about 15 PSI and said he did not find any leaks. I took it out again and the drive oil was still leaking under the engine. What else could be causing this leak? Or can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this issue?

Check the bottle itself, and the hose to the transom plate.
