it was quite alot on its side the stand isnt that good so i lean the bike on a wooden box in the shed...will never do it again

Are you sure its gearbox oil? And why don't you try to track it, coming out a breather pipe doesn't sound right. Lean it over again and it might be a gasket or something.

The only certain piece of advice from me is to never ride or drive any vehicle with low oil. Otherwise you risk letting the parts rub together without lube. Then the engine seizes. :(
