Gear box oil overfill

[fredperrybruce]

Hi, can the gear box on a PX be over filled and what's the worse that can happen if it was? I remember pumping a S**t load od oil in the other week and not allowing for excess to drain before slapping the nut back on! Could this be a cause for black oil coming from engine??

OK.... Worst case scenario.

Too much oil = too much gearbox pressure = blown seal.

On the other hand....

Unfasten the oil level bolt and let any overflow out now. Once its run off, look for a white scum on the top. Hopefully there won't be one. If there is, then blown seal.
