could be over filled. drain all the oil and put in the ammount that is stamped on the engine right beside the fill cap
Either you put to much oil lnto the case, or---
you somehow the carb has a issue and you are leaking fuel and its somehow getting into the case ?
is the oil black or greyish looking ?

Overheating, overfilling, incorrect oil and pressure can make the overflow leak.
If the overflow tube is not terminated at the highest point (like under the hood) syphoning can occur as well.
There should be no more than 650ml of oil in the tranny, too much oil can blow a seal.
If everything else checks out fine a leaky crankcase seal could be the problem.
A leak down test will confirm.
Sporty, the only way for fuel to get in the gearbox is through the filler or the crankcase seal.

i'm a little confused by "overflow tube". i think you mean breather hose or vent hose that goes into the engine near the right side of the reed intake.
