aq125, the upper gearbox is removed, testing seawater side, new empeller, new rear seal on sea water pump. clear tube installed on inside engine housing. have hose hooked to up to transom side by passing out drive. then into tall tub of water. going to start enginge. and see if sea water pump works with no air bubles going thru clear hose.

put garden hose on water supply hose in tub, pressurized water into water supply hose. water going thru system, no leaks on the inside at engine. however water driping out of exhaust bellows close to transom. thus the question, before exhaust bellows pulled for replacement.

thanks, hope this makes sense, trying to be brief. apprieciate your time.

Raise the drive and look. Some aftermarket bellows do have a hole, but it's a nice round hole.
