I have oil coming out of the vent tube on the front differential. No oil had been added before this problem started.

Is the oil pumping out or just a small drip?

Oh I just remembered there is an updated tube assembly for this problem

The oil pumps out when it does it. It doesn't do it all the time. But when it does it soaks the driverside of radiator and steering gearbox. Thanks in advance for your help
