Tohatsu 2004 90hp 2 stroke

Ok I traded my boat last week for a pontoon with a 90hp tohatsu on it.
The motor was started on muffs ran fine. trade was made.
When I got home I hooked it back up to water started it then I put it into gear It does go into gear (forward & reverse) prop spins.
It had a very bad rumbling noise. Did not seem normal.
I pulled the lower gear dran to check if there was metal in the oil.
Water started pooring out! it had about1/4 water 3/4 oil. I can not see any cracks in the lower end and new oil is not leaking out? dont know how the water got in there. but no metal.
When I ran it agin after refilling the noise was still there. I think this thing may have a bad lower unit.
Where can I get a replacment or can I get mine rebuilt? :

This sucks I should have had the guy put it in gear before we did the trade
Im located in stockbridge any help would be great.
