Simple question, don’t ask how I got in the situation! . .

If I’ve over filled my gear box oil where would/should it come out?

 

it should come out the bolt you put it into...?

 

Yea, that what it looks like but it’s hard to tell… You mean that little spout on the top with the rubber plug over it yea?

I put 2liters in, I know it should only take 1.8 but I had the top plug of the two at the end of the box out with a tray under it thinking that any excess would come out there… But none did and I thought “eh, what the worst that can happen”. I think it’s because the car was jacked up at the front slightly making the oil run to the back of the box and now it is proper pissing out, It’s fukin gone everywhere! ! !

Think I’ve contaminated the brake pad on that side as well so will need to replace that… Dick head!

 

If you open the "proper" fill plug and any leaks out, then it's too full. If none leaks out, then it's probably not full enough.

The best method for accurately filling that I've found is:

1. Drain the old fluid and put the plug back in.
2. Remove the fill plug and the VSS from the tranny.
3. Using a long funnel, pour fluid into the tranny via the VSS hole until you see some running out of the fill hole.
4. Put the fill plug and the VSS back in.

 

thats a vent for the transmission... theres a 17 mm bolt on the side of the tranny by the axle ( passenger side) its an odd looking place for a bolt and sticks out. you put fluid in there.
i have no idea if that drain goes to where the fluid is suposed to go, but wouldnt recommend putting any more in there. its problaly over filled now.
