Default Wet transom

The transom on my '72 Seafari was replaced by the previous owner in the mid 80's. In looking to find a leak, I pulled the motor mounting bolts and discovered my transom is wet inside - all four bolt holes. SO I drilled 3 more 1/8" pilot holes, and discovered it is wet from side to side at 6" above the hull bottom. Yet standing on the cavitation plate of my 375 lb motor and bouncing shows no flex in the transom.
Guys, I'm out of my league when it comes to fiberglass. How soon does this need to be addressed?
