Do the seals need to be replaced? I know the answer is probably yes but wanted to ask people with a lot more knowledge

Pressure test before replacing all of the seals as it might be the drive shaft or shift shaft seals. Prop shaft seals would need a mechanic with special tools to replace.

MAD Efi, more than likely. I've installed a few of them.
KFD-KING, that doesn't look like a ton of water. Have you had any water problems in the past?
At the least: Pressure test, and replace the seals on the drain and vent screws (EVERY time).

Have it scheduled to be pressured tested. Will post results.
It passed a pressure test and the mechanic did a vacuum test too. Put new screws, washers, and hopefully no more problems.
