Walkthrough

Talk to Veronica at the bottom of the path to Draynor Manor and she will tell you she and her fiancé, Ernest were lost and he went into the manor around an hour ago to ask for directions, but hasn't returned. She'll then ask you if you'll go inside and see if you can find him since the manor looks too spooky for her. Accept the quest and she'll tell you that she saw some flashing lights on the top floor and suggests you start by looking up there.
Note: The easiest way to reach Draynor Manor is via the Draynor Village lodestone home teleport and walking north.

Head north up the path towards the manor and go through the Large door. Once inside, climb the staircase in the middle of the entrance hall and then the ladder next to it on the second floor.

Once on the top floor, go into the east room and you'll find Professor Oddenstein. Tell him you're looking for a guy called Ernest and he'll tell you that Ernest helped him test his pouletmorph machine and has been turned into the chicken wandering around the room.
Tell the Professor to change him back and he'll inform you that the machine is broken as the manor's poltergeists have stolen and hidden the vital parts of his machine. Volunteer to help him find them and he'll tell you to find a pressure gauge, Rubber tube and Oil can.

Starting with the Oil can, you'll need to head back down to the first floor and then go into the west room. Find the unlit Candle sconce on the wall and search it to open a secret door in the wall and allow you to enter the most western room. Now climb down the ladder in this room to find yourself in the manor basement.

In the cell on the west side of the basement you'll see the Oil can, however you'll need to find a way to open the door so that you can pick it up. To do so, you'll need to pull the levers found around the basement in this order:

Pressure gauge.
