You bet ya. Anywhere from just touching it with yer finger to running out the hole is good. Mine all leak so I don't worry till they quit spotting than I fill them up again. If they are leaking than they must have lube in them right?

Why are you driving around leaking oil? Axle seals are pretty cheep, a paper seal is all that is used where the chunk fits the housing. May take a half day to get to all three places and get er filled up again, but pretty easy.
