I have had a leak onboard when underway only. Always warm water so has to be coming from exit side of cooling water. Can't see it coming from the motor and looked to be a little stream from under the muffler. So I've pulled it now and can't see any obvious holes? There are areas that have the black worn off but overall it looks to be in good shape.
Any ideas on how to better test the muffler for leaks?

Entirely possible I suppose but I never noticed any water coming from that area. With how much water I wAs getting when underway I feel I should have noticed from that area.
I've thought about capping the muffler exits, filling with water to test it

Better to caps both ends,
Put a small fitting in one of the caps so you can pressurize it (a couple psi) & put under water to look for bubbles.
You could also use soapy water but that is hard to pinpoint the exact leak.
