9" Fill Question
I purchased my car back in November and have noticed a drip in my driveway from the rear and oily mess underneath the rear of the car. I was going to add some gear oil throught the fill plug on the driver side and once I removed it oil came pouring out, until leveling off with the fill plug. After searching I believe I know the answer but would like confirmation before taking off in her.
Did the prior owner just over fill the rear and could the existing mess be from the vent?

Sounds like it was overfilled. The fill plug is the oil level check bolt. You fill it until there is oil coming out of the hole and it is full. If you are worried about it drain and refill the rear then you know how much fluid is in it.
