gearbox leak?

Came out in the snow to change my gearbox oil and found it leaking out... an exhaust part? I pulled the screws to drain it but it only dripped out the top hole. it seemed to be stuck and i couldnt force any into the bottom hole. Its -4C out... I did my other motor the same time without issues.
Any major concerns here? Im screwed until next week when it warms up putside.
Thanks,
Alex

Well if there was water at the drain it would be frozen.----Small propane torch to warm it up around the drain should be your next move.----The sooner the better.

Ok thanks thats what I will do in the morning. Do you have any guessing how oil would randomly start leaking from above the drain plugs? Would that guarantee that I busted a seal somewhere?
