That and after the gear lube and suspended metal particles get sloshed
around it will become all hazed.

I have a neat cover, it has a bolt that I remove that is big enough to stick
my finger in. If I feel oil it is good enough, if I can't feel oil I add
some. I just check it when I change my oil, and I have NEVER had a problem
with it. Now that I think about it I think we all have a cover just like
mine.

My biggest fear is that it stops leaking because this means it's empty.

Only benefit I could see (no pun intended :) ) is that after a water
crossing
you might be able to tell if the assembly was at risk or not. I can imagine
the value in that.

Otherwise, everything else about them is esoteric and non-viable to me as
well.
