Don’t expect it to hold gear oil. It is supposed to get outboard motor gear grease (now NLA). Most of use either Lubriplate 105 Motor Assembly Grease or John Deere Corn Head grease.
Water pump is a centrifugal pump with metal impeller. It is a siphon system where water going up is balanced by water going back down. There is no tell-tale nor can there be, as that would admit air and break the siphon. So don’t be drilling holes in it.
Take old seals to a bearing sales place and have them pick something out by size.
