    The lower gearscase has several places that can leak. Did the o-ring on the shift rod get replaced? It’s under a brass bushing thathas to be pulled out to replace it. If you have the electric shift this is not a concern, as there is no shift rod. If the propshaft and/or the driveshaft are worn where they rub on the seals, it will leak and you need to replace these shafts. Look carefully at the lower housing for cracks also.
