[QUOTE=christian;673623]A few weeks ago I drained and filled my gearbox. I filled it up till it came out the top fill plug. Every time I drive it I have been getting a sizable leak just under the rear of the gear box. Could this be from over filling? Trying to find its natural level? Or could this be a leak somewhere to the output of the gear box. Thanks for looking.

Did it leak before you re serviced it ?...The level dose not have to be at the very top [running out] if you can reach it with your index finger, it's ok, same as your eng. oil, better to be a little low [1/2 qt.] then over serviced. JMO.
