This is the small hole where the water was spraying out of when I was hosing into the boot. Also not sure why the bolts were put on before the gasket? This is the bottom of the bellhousing is that an issue?

WTF? Who put that gearbox in? No wonder you got mud in!!!!!!!
That’s really poor mate. Both on the boot and sandwich plate.

The noises you are hearing is a dry and dirty thrust bearing. It will surely see an early death. There’s no easy way out of this I think. You either keep driving it or drop the box out and replace the thrust bearing and carrier before it explodes and takes out the clutch with it.

I bought the car as a rolling shell but had the drive in drive out conversion done, but i guess the transmission was already in there. This is my pride and joy as well as my daily driver. If I keep driving it and it continues am I going to be risking more damage? Is my safest bet to get it booked in to get the box dropped and cleaned out & bearing changed?

Also the sound doesn't just happen when I depress the clutch. It happens when I'm just rolling or accel/decel too just harder to hear obviously

If it were me. Keep hosing it out until its clean water. Then take it from there. Theres a chance you have damaged the clutch plate friction pads and also maybe the pressure plate facing where it meets the clutch plate. You wont know until its removed.
If you go down the gearbox removal path, get whoever is doing the job to seal up the entire housing, including the rubber boot.

Took the boot out and had the hose up there for a good 20-30 minutes and plently of depressing and releasing the clutch too. Sounds the worst it has been now to the point i almost dont even wanna drive it sounds horrendous lol. I guess ill go for another drive but looks like shes going to be getting the box dropped

Think that is the best idea at least you know it'll be fixed right and be realiable, last thing you want is having it shit itself in the middle of nowhere. Whoever did the conversion did a pretty shoddy job putting the motor in that sandwich plate is definatly not ide. At least you know now thoroughly seal the bugger before playing in bogholes lol. .
