OR, the rear seal around the snout of the
driveshaft is bad. Most likely it was a bit overfull,
hard to resist that temptation... Don't forget, these
things were designed to lose whatever extra you put in ;-)
BTW, my usual way of filling a ribcase is to pull the
usual grommet and filler plug, then pull the gearshift lever.
I fill through the hole from the shifter while monitoring the
level at the "fill plug". So much easier than trying to put a
funnel down there AND see how full it is.
