I have replaced the exhaust se

I have replaced the exhaust seal and ring at the lower housing but most of the exhaust is still leaking out rather than going through the prop. Is there an adjustment to make the housing seal better or is this an indicator of another problem? I have to pull the lower unit to replace the transom seal an I would like to fix both issues while I am in there. TKS GT
