Anyway, had my gear oil and gasket changed last week because it was dripping. as i was checking my gear oil with the dipstick this morning, it shows the oil is just at the low mark when it is cold, are you suppose to check gear oil when it is cold or when it is warm? I am puzzled as I have just had it changed a week ago, shouldn't that show as full or is that normal?

I have tried google but all it shows are american websites talking about AT fluids.
