Well done: ~ regarding the drain & filler plugs- these are notorious for being difficult to remove, I’m convinced Volvo used Loctite on these or similar.
With this in mind apply heat from a gas gun/camper gas type direct to the plug- this will break the bond between the box & plug, doesn’t need a lot of heat. Use a tight fitting socket and it should move.
Both plugs are worth having a hex nut welded to the ends ready for the next oil change or next owner! Oil from the back of the box could just be because the same has been tilted more than normal? I found the same so removed a bolt and used gasket seal red hermetite – the box was overfilled as previously mentioned (Type F oil for this one) but once back in the normal position it remains dry.
Regards Bob.
