    I agree 100% with Charlie, your fluid quantity is spec'd to give a specific coverage of bearings and you don't want to run lower. Just thinking, what if you came off of that green plug with a thread to compression fitting and took a three or four feet of 1/4"/6mm copper tube coiled in a tight spiral maybe 3" to 4" diameter ending with the tube coming back to center and turning up. Another tube fitting with a cap that has a nominal 1/16" or 3/32" hole drilled in the center? (fitting, tube bent straight up and coiled ending pointing up w/fitting - each turn on a 4" circle will eat a foot of tube) If it works you could replicate the whole thing in highly polished stainless to match the other bling, or just polish the copper & brass and clear coat it! By pointing up the coil would be self draining back into the diff, and there would have to be enough pressure to push oil up through the whole tube to get out. It would add an interesting "look" if done neatly. Just a thought....

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
