sealing the lower unit is not difficult... it does require a few techniques and special tools..

Easiest way to find the exact problem is to drop the lower unit...drain the oil and make an adapter to pressurize the lower unit.. 3-6psi is plenty ( use a regulator)... remove the water pump so you can observe the seals.... with the L.U. pressurized... spray soapy water ( a few drops of dish detergent works well in a spray bottle).. spray the prop[ shaft... shift shaft and drive shaft... the leak will appear as a foamy bubble where the problem exists...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
