SAS, I did this with mine, and took some pictures, which might be helpful.
There are seals, no gaskets. Even so, on the casting of the 'final drive', there is a hole that serves no purpose that I can see except to serve as a "weephole", and secondarily as a nice hole for mice to get in.
Here is the inside of the R final drive casting with the brake drum and the drive shaft removed. No. 1 is where the brake rod goes out the front, and you can see all the chaff stuck there. No. 2 is the hole in the bottom of the casting, and there is no reason I can see that oil that gets through the seals can't drip down to the ground, as the hole exits underneath by No. 3. Perhaps your bottom hole is plugged with dirt/chaff, and thus the oil is rising and coming out by the brake rod. No. 4 is the seal in the casting, and as you can see, a former owner put it in backward, as the lip of the seal is supposed to face the oil, which is in with the bull gear behind the seal.
Ideally, there should be no oil in this chamber, as the brake band will slip if it gets coated with oil. My brake band was SATURATED with oil.
