"Sounds like a leaky drive sea

"Sounds like a leaky drive seal.
Could be upper shaft seal, lower shaft seal, or shift shaft.
You need to take the drive off and have it pressure tested, and re-sealed accordingly.
If its an Alpha One it is coming up to 20 years old, and that's par for a 20 year old drive if its never been re-sealed until now. Better get them to install a new water pump impeller at the same time. This should be done every 5 years or so minimum anyway.
