[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 126236, member: 7474"] There is a steel plug on the front. Park on a level surface, remove the plug. Put your finger in the hole to the first knuckle and if you don’t touch any oil it is low. If you open it up and it pours out you either have a motor carrier seal blown or it has filled with water over time. If the oil is milky it needs to be replaced. You may want to remove the top inspection plate to inspect the oil and see how much water is in it. All chain cases have water in them from condensation. The only way to get the oil out is to pump it out. Under normal circumstances this is done through the plug hole. However, if the oil hasn’t been changed in a long time you will want to get all the gunk out through the inspection plate hole. You can get a cheap oil pump online or some automotive stores carry them. [/QUOTE]
