TC leaking gear oil?

so i put in a whole 0.94 liters of gear oil in the TC.. I was driving it and when i pulled over i noticed that there was a small puddle under the axle.

I looked up online the spec of the TC gear oil it says .58 liters so i overfilled the TC, would it leak out the axles if it were overfilled?

Even if it was overfilled, I wouldn't think it would leak out of the axles seeing as if it did this it would constantly leak since the fluid is being thrown around inside of there. I do not know for sure. All you did was change the fluid? Didn't touch any seals or anything?
