gearbox oil level

I was checking the gearbox oil level the other day, I started to remove the drain plug, when oil started to come out, so I quickly refitted the drain plug. Should this happen, as I thought that with the car on the level, I should be able to unscrew the plug, and nothing come out.
(I've recently had a full oil flush/change done with the machine that changed the oil rather than just drain it.) Question

Needs the engine running, and the gearbox oil at the correct temperature to check the oil level

Don’t undo the drain plug or it will empty,,that’s why it’s the drain plug.

It doesn't need to be hot.

In this hot weather just run it for 5 mins.
Run it thru the gears and back to park and then check level with engine running
