While replacing my impeller with a kit I noticed the kits water tube was shorter then the original.Also how does the gear oil travel from upper to lower.

Make sure you got the right kit.There is a small hole in the upper and lower that mate up with a crush oring when the 2 are assembled.Look near the pump housing side and you will find the oil passage.
