Default Q36 gear box

I decide to paint the snow blower for winter and disassembled the mount from the blower. After the paint job was complete on the mount that held the right angle gear box it was tilted while drying and a light brown and very thick fluid oozed out from the shaft seals. So I tried the 80/90 lube with a conditioner to help with the seals and it just ran out. I wondering after reading some posts about using chassis grease if snow mobile grease would work for the colder temperatures or just stick with a general wheel bearing grease high temperature grease to be safe. I know this is not what the manufacturer recommends and I don't want to get into the changing of seals just to have them leak after using it for 2 or 3 months a year. Just a thought......
