I may have overfilled the final drive by a few once’s cause I leaned bike other direction to get extra in there. After riding very aggressively found final drive fluid all over rear tire. Only leaking from wrap hole not hub or breather over flow. Cleaned up filled back up to correct level and problem is gone after a 600 mile ride home. Kinda worried it may happen again. Should I order the 2 seals and be done with it? Or can it puke out over filled fluid and be okay when filled properly?

If it has stopped leaking and has the correct amount of oil in there then I would consider myself fortunate and just keep an eye on it for the next few weeks.
