Dripless Seal Still Dripping After Replacement

I have SureSeal from Tides Marine in my express cruiser. My port engine dripless was dripping It dripped while engine running, and got worse when in gear. I haven't worked on dripless seals before, so I decided to pull the boat out of the water just to be on the safe side. I replaced the lip seal with the spare. Tightened everything back up, and there was still dripping coming from the bottom center of the bellows/articulating hose.

My engine compartment is cramped, so I can't see under the engine (V drive), to see exactly where the drip is coming from. But I monitored it for 10-15 minutes, and it continued to drip slowly.

I'm stumped. The boat is on the hard. Where is all the dripping still coming from?
