    How can it be?

    Today checked and topped up gearbox, transfer box and overdrive oil. Then to axles. Now can someone tell me how, if the correct level when topping up axles is until 'oil dribbles out', when i remove filler plug i can have a veritable torrent pouring out? How did that much oil get in there in the...
