Vented my blower gearcase.
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.
