I would atleast check it regularly.. I just checked mine this spring and IM lucky I did.. The vent valve on top didnt work correctly so it had been blowing the gear oil out of the seals..

After getting a new valve the oil level is constant (hence no other leaks). BUT when i checked the oil it was cloudy from what I assume is condensation that built up inside of it and wasin the bottom of the box.. I drained/refilled 2x and finally the oil didnt get cloudy
