The drive line connects to a spline shaft in the tail shaft housing of the transmission. There is a lip seal on the drive line where it slides into the tail shaft housing. If you pull the drive line completely out, there will be a BIG hole and nothing to seal the connection here. Some of the oil will run out.
The drive line does not have oil in it, but the transmission does.
