SOmething i was reading about last night is that if the rear shocks are
broken down or the load is especially heavy, the final drive oil would end
up in the transmission and spew out the hole.

Could this be the case here?

The fitting you want is a hose barb fitting. They are available in
various machine screw threads and pipe thread sizes. Tmhe pipe threaded
sizes are a bit too large. Companies that sell pneumatic parts will have
10-32 fittings that are just right. Add a little thread sealant while
you are at it. Thye grease type fittrings usually have a check ball
built in and you could easily build enough pressure toblow out a seal.

Let me know if you can't find one ,I have some around here . I used
them on my Guzzis and gave onr to Tom Bowes to use on "Cedar" . The
tube soldered into a drilled hole works well also,As previously
suggested.

Yes, I was thinking of that.
First, get another relief valves in case I screw up. Take the original,
drill it out, tap it for a grease type fitting and then attach the hose
as
you describe

Years ago I had an Eldo. It leaked badly out the hole in the shift
detent
plug on the left side. I drille the hole slightly larger to 1/8" and
inserted a small tube and soldered in place. Then attached a fish tank
air
hose and ran it up into the battery compartment in an inverted U. You
could
see oil in the tubing, but it never went more than a couple inches
high.
