Scott,
I recently took mine out and very little oil came out (even though the
gearbox was filled as specified).
You might consider replacing the oil seal on the gear when you get the
replacement (if it doesn't come with a new seal). There is also an
o-ring in there somewhere (any parts manual should illustrate this).
Good luck,
