Vented my blower gearcase.

[Wicked]

Okay,
I have been gettting some seepage from the bottom of the blower from day one. Every time I check the oil, the gearcase is pressurized from the oil heating up(vapor pressure) and its causing the oil to be force out of the case.

I had the idea to vent the dipstick tube location to relieve the pressure.
I had discussed this before and we(Lee and I) had thought it might cause oil to blow out the dipstick tube.

Here is the result. I drilled a bolt then cut off the head and added a nut about halfway down.

Nothing fancy but it works. No oil or wetness in the tube after 2 days of normal driving.

Just thought I'd post my findings.
