The air vent on the right axle tube is leaking oil. I ordered a new one and topped off the housing (1/2 qt low).

I took the old one off and looked at it. The cap is loose but still on. Doesn't look like there is much to it, or if it is even broken. Oil isn't leaking from anywhere else.

I am wondering if this is indicative of another problem such as a bad axle seal?

Any rear axle experts here know if there is probably something else going on here than a bad vent?
