Subject:Automatic transaxle final drive oil leve.
From:Robert Clemmer

Anyone want to weigh in on what the oil level should be in the final drive
of an automatic transaxle?  Before I left for FL, the level was about � inch
or so below the oil plug.  I filled it up to just overflowing.  About 4-500
miles into the trip, I notice the back of the car spotting up.  It was hot
as h*** on the way down.  I checked the oil level down here and it is about
� inch below the plug again.  So I�m wondering if it should be at this level
and that it just vented the excess out.
