Finals on 140 leaking after brake replacment

I have a 1964 140. I pulled the finals off last weekend and replaced the brake bands. Everything went back together well, but after
I parked it, I noticed a bunch of gear oil from the transmission leaking out of the seam between the final and the transmission on the
left (short) side.

The gear oil looks milky, like it has water in it. Is there a chance that there is too much gear oil in the transmission from water
leaking in over time and this is causing it to overflow and leak out the freshly separated parts? The seal around the axle shaft
looked to be in fine shape when I removed the left side final.....I didn't notice any tears and it has never leaked before.

I've seen in some posts where the transmission can be too full and leak and if you drain the trans and fill it with the correct
amount, it stops leaking.

Which plug do I pull to drain the transmission?

Thanks for your help,
