Default 1982 4.5hp Evinrude cooling & seal quesitons

Ok so i just replaced my impeller bc my motor wasnt spittin out water like i thought it should be. Before i changed it at a idle it would spit water sometimes and then stop for 15-20sec and spit water again. So i changed impeller and took it out for test run and as long as im giving it throttle it will stream water out but when i go slower speeds/idle it seems to be intermittin spitting out water and believe motor heats up so i shut it off. I run it WOT and cycles water fine? I checked for blocks in water intake on lowerend and nothin it was clean. Anything else i can check or replace to make it cycle water constantly even at idle? replace water pump?
Next question is i am gettin some water into my lowerend oil so i know i must have seal leak. How do i know what seal to replace and what possible seals could be leaking?

4.5hp EVINRUDE 1982?

pressure test the lower unit to find leak, impeller sounds fine. at idle you only get a mist or droplets.
