Normally a mechanic would drain the lower unit and do a pressure test on it.-----Your appraoch may be different ?---------Yamaha oil seals may be rubber coated all over.-This rubber changes with time and seals may become loose and shift out of position thus causing a leak.----Might be worth while to remove the lower unit.-Then remove the water pump and look at the seals on the driveshaft.
