Why does oil have to be poured into a gearbox?
A gearbox contains a great many moving parts. Some of them are submerged in oil and some of them are splashed — that is, the oil is carried to them by other moving parts. The lubrication is designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact, between teeth on gears, for example.
What should oil level be on side of gearbox?
Keep the oil up to the upper limit shown on the dipstick, but be careful not to top up beyond this mark. If you have the more usual filler-and-level plug on the side of the gearbox, consult your car handbook to identify it correctly. The side of the gearbox may have other plugs on it to cover adjustment points, for example.
What should I do if my gearbox is leaking oil?
Take out the drain plug. When the oil flow has slowed to a drip, put a finger in the drain hole and hook out any metal particles or other debris. Any significant amount of metal debris indicates trouble inside the gearbox, and you should consult a garage. If the drain plug has a washer, fit a new one.

Which is better 80W or synthetic gear oil?
Your front diff mite not like synthetic, I would stick to the 80W. I’ve had diffs, with over 4000 miles on them, apart that were run in 80w and they still look good. I don’t think you will gain anything with synthetic.
