gear oil had leaked/escaped from the release valve.  Not just a drop
or two, but enough that I could smell it and see that a light coating
was on the left sidewall.  I haven't checked the final drive oil
level in quite awhile, let alone added any, so why would pressure
increase enough all of sudden for it to need to escape through the
valve?
