Water leak in Engine compartment (Mercruiser)

I have a Sundancer 290 with the 7.4L Merc, and I have a small
water leak in the engine compartment. When the boat sits
for a while (days), there is no leaking, but when I take
it out for a spin, it's dripping when I come back. The
dripping is coming from somewhere directly under the
hub, but I can't see up under there to see exactly where
it's coming from. The risers go down into that area,
but the water that's dripping is not warm, so I don't
think it's coming from the risers. What's up under
there that could be leaking? Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!

You need to be a bit more descriptive. What is a "hub"? What do you have for
a drive train? Is it an IO or inboard? Straight transmission or V drive.
Alpha, Bravo, or TRS? Would you be able to get a better look at things if
you used a mirror and high power flashlight?
