My freshly rebuilt 8.75 rearend had a nice little vent cap on it, but it leaked fluid, as many do. Notice the fluid track to the lower right of the vent in this picture. See:

They sell kits for "extended" venting systems, for like $40, for example:

...but it's easy to build your own for way way cheaper.

I used a short length of 5/16" fuel line, a small hose clamp, a cheap FRAM fuei filter and a metal bracket from another fuel filter (that I never used and cost me only a few dollars). I pried off the little metal cap, and installed the new vent hose system. See below.

fyi,

I like that filter bracket. Any idea where you got it?
