"First, make sure you are removing the oil drain screw and not some unrelated screw. If it is the drain screw and nothing comes out, then it should be filled with 90wt Hypoid oil.

If you are losing oil then the gearcase needs to be inspected to determine if the problem is worn seals or worse, worn shafts and bearings."
