Default vacuum leak

reseal time, maybe the former owner didn't service the drive seasonal?

I bought a 1994 Sea Ray SC2100 this spring. I had it winterized this
fall and the Marina told me the lower unit oil was milky white,
indicating water was leaked in. They filled the unit with new oil, ran
it for a few minutes and drained it again with the same results. They
then performed a pressure and vacuum test. The pressure test passed,
but the vacuum test failed. It would not hold a vacuum. I have never
had a boat fail either test or have water leak. Before moving forward
with a repair, I'd like to understand what could be the problem and the
estimated cost associated. Can someone offer me some advice?
