If there is water in there, it needs removed ASAP. It can damage the bearings, gears... There is a rubber plug that you can remove to check. The fluid level should be to the bottom of the fill hole. If there is water in there, chances are it will be over full and come out as a creamy brown or white.

Let me know what you find.
