The Ford Barn

Need some advise. After driving about 15 miles yesterday I pulled the '30 town sedan into the garage and decided to check the level in the rear axle. When I pulled the top plug the gear lube gushed out! I got it all over the floor and myself before I could get the plug back in. Next, I tried the transmission and the same thing happened. They were both filled with 600W.
Where did all that grease come from? Would it expand that much when hot?
I intend to change the lube in both, but can't figure out where it all came from.
