Yea you have 2 options.

A : remove cover,drain,replace with new gasket and refill.
B : buy a siphon pump and run a tube into the fill hole and drain out as much as you can and refill till it just starts to ooz out the fill hole. I dont like this method but 3 of my bolts are stripped/seized. So i gotta.
