Dripless Shaft Seal Dripping...

I have an 08 X15. It has the dripless shaft seal, but it is now dripping.
I tightened all the clamps, but it has a pretty steady stream coming out. On this boat, I have to stand on my head adn contort myself just to see the shaft packing. It is hard to tell exactly where the leak is. There are multiple hose clamps on it. The leak appears to be on the end towards the transmission/bow and not on the back end.

The leak is more than just dripping, more like a steady stream of water.

Do these seals need adjustment? Are there any simple fixes I should be checking - or is this something more major?

I dinged my prop, not too bad, but fixed it a few days later.
I couldn't notice any vibration with the dinged prop, but it might have caused the issues I a am dealing with now.
