    To be missing that much fluid, you must have a leak in the axle seals

    I changed it a year or so ago I think it had air bubbles or something at that time. No leaks anywhere.

    Was the car level? That can be a factor. The Repair Manual doesn't really say, but I think they're assuming the car's on a (level) hoist:
