I have fluid leaking out of the cap to the front axle case. I see there's a hole in the cap and from the looks of it, that is a vent.It's not overfilled and the fluid looks like it's coming out of that vent hole, almost like it "boiling over". I'm thinking there's probably a simple explanation to this, one that I don't know . . .

Usually it means you have water in your oil, if it happens after you use it for a while, it froths the oil and water then it will push out the vent.

Drain a little out. If it looks like creamed coffee, its got water in it. If it sits for a few days, any water will drain out first. Could also be over heating or foaming. Are you sure you have the correct oil/fluid.
