Re: Axle vent leaking oil

The vent is supposed to have a loose cap. That's how they are designed. It's supposed to let air exchange without letting water in.

If your axle is overfilled (you say it was low though) it will come out there, or if you park it on an extreme angle side to side some might leak out. Leaking seals wouldn't do anything to make it come out the vent, they are at the axle ends, and fluid can traverse the tubes.
