Default Rear End Pressure

Rebuilt the rear-end last year and added a Mitchell overdrive.
After 3,700 miles I decided to change the lube and when I removed the plug Oil shot out as it was under quite a bit of pressure.
I never expected that although there is no pressure relief feature in the rear-end.

Also, the temperature of the front driveshaft tube was about 115 degrees after about a twenty minute drive in eighty degree weather. Is that temperature normal?
Thanks for your advice/insight.
