So I didn’t check seal on air lock and it’s been spewing water and steam the entire time even though it’s building and maintaining pressure. I’m canning French onion soup, will the batch still be okay since it’s maintaining pressure fine or no good now?

As long as it maintains pressure, you should be fine. You may have the heat a little too high, or you might need a new seal on the pressure lock.
Not a professional, but i unscrewed my gauge, put some tephlon/pipe tape around the threads and screwed it back in and it did the trick. Been a few years with no issues.
