Did you have any corrosion at the WP housing /gearcase surface which would cause a leak ? A good driveshaft seal and grommet in the housing is important too.
As i was concerned when i saw the fine water mist exiting the motor,like something isn’t right here, I pulled the Lower unit and put in a bucket of water and hooked up a drill to see how much water came out the WP grommet. It wasn’t much,maybe water exited in a 1/2-3/4 " vertical "stream" ,if you can call it that.
