Hello New Dundee.
"There is gear oil leaking out of the small drain hole near the bottom of the unit".
I'm sure that the gear oil was changed in the fall for winterization. (or atleast it should've been), 17 degrees yesterday and 14 today has things starting to flow again. Are you talking about the drain hole for the leg gear oil? If so, there may have been some oil left around the drain plug, and now its running like maple syrup. The seal on the plug may be damaged and leaking. Check to make sure it is screwed in tight. If it is, you may be looking at putting a new seal on that plug.
If its not the drain plug, refer to Bt DR. above.
