Depends on how bad it leaks to whether or not you should drive it or not. But if it leaks oil it will most likely let water in as well. 80-90W gear oil will work fine.

good point about not driving it . its leaking very little . mostly just moisture now . but im a neat freak and noticed it and then freaked out . quad is fairly new and never been riden hard . (its the wife's ) but it does have 27 in itp 589's would that have caused it . did notice after checking the level it is about 1 inch from the top of the plug where the manual recommends it should be when full .

Don't use regular gear lube ! the k/q rear and the kawi. prairie and brute force have the rear brake inside the diff housing, if you put reg. diff lube in you'll wreck the brake. Both suzuki and kawasaki have the special oil to use.

The Kawasaki brand oil is called "KawaChem Gear and Wet Brake Oil".
