with the oil cold fill to the bottom of the fill hole..on level ground....
what oil did you install 2 months ago ? if not 80-90 gl5 drain this all out and refill with the correct oil...
IF the box can not vent , the oil will leak out at the seals..with the age of this vehicle most likely this did no damage ...
slight leaking here is common...if the leak is minor just a drop from time to time...monitor the level at the oil change time and check condition of oil should be yellow , not gray yellow...

Thanks for the tips. Actually I think around 1/4 cup of this fluid has spilled out onto the driveway while it was parked.
