It looks like your level is higher than that from the photo.
Not sure of the consequences of this. |

Even going by the above quote from Lynn L if the box is filled up to the level Lynn suggests this would mean the box is holding 5 Litres as shown by the sight tube.
Remembering that the flange shaft where it enters the box is higher than the bottom edge of the flange that the driveshaft is bolted to.
