You can certainly cause problems by overfilling the rear axle, and it's important when servicing that the axle is hanging on the springs to avoid overfilling. On the D type axle you really don't need any more than 250ml (1/2 pint) or it will endeavour to find its way out by either the half shaft seals, contaminating the brakes or (if you have a special with lowered suspension) via the torque tube.
140 grade oil is quite viscous when cold but fluid when hot. Notwithstanding, if you paint the springs with it, it will drip (don't ask me how I know that)
