Easy one for the list.


Like everyone else, I drip some fluif from my gearbox and differential. I 
always try and top up going into winter when I have more time.


Last year, Jiffy Lube let me drive in and walk down under the car and top it 
off for free. The year before that, my friend with a Jag got the car level and 
helped me.


My problem is I only have a set of Rhino ramps and have no way to get the car 
level.


The question is, if I run the front up on the ramps and then pump in some 
fluid, obviously when I come back down the level will be above where it should 
be according to the book.


Is there really any risk with overfilling these two parts? If there is, I will 
make other arrangements.


Thanks,
