10 bolt vent Question?

I just bought a 10 bolt non posi rear for a spare. There is a hole in the top that will just dump oil out if fliped over. I take this is where the vent goes and its missing? Can I just buy a vent to put in the hole?

Im have zero experience with rear ends.

Check the 10-Bolt FAQ sticky for info.

Re: 10 bolt vent Question?

The vent is just a 2 part plastic piece that pushes in the hole. Yours may be broke off, so look in the hole to see if part of it is still in there. You can buy a new vent, or pull one out of another old rear end.
