Have you already tried tightening the gland?

That gland on mine was the same as type as on the prop shaft. If tightening doesnt work out, you can repack it. I believe its above the waterline at rest which makes repacking it easy and explains why it only leaks when healed.

Someone else had a similar challenge about 10 days ago. The forum provided a bunch of feedback. Might be useful.
