Here's another first for me. Last time, the seal came out of my pumpkin, no problem, I popped it back in. Today after our Big Bear ride, I noticed at home all this oil all over my rear drive, really it's mostly dirt on the oil. It looks like it's coming form the breather up top and dripping down to the drain bold and onto the rim and spidering out. I don't believe it's coming out of the tire side of the rear end as there was no leakage on the plastic ring etc. I did not notice this, and I didn't really look, while I've been commuting to work for the last few weeks.
Now when I had my other thread issue with the seal coming out, The rear drive did tip over and oil came out the breather. I cleaned it all up, and topped 'er off.
I just pulled the fill plug on the rear end to check the fluid level, and it's fine, right at the top. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one. Looking forward to a SkooterG comment since he's Obiwan of the final drive unit….
So, what do you think?

JamesK hit it on the head with overfilling, clean it up and check for obvious leaks. Shouldn't happen if the level is correct.
