Subject: Rear drive vented?



I've got a V700 and it keeps throwing oil out of the rear and onto the rear
wheel and tire.

I looked at it and noticed that the filler cap is a threaded brass nut with
a hole in the middle with a nipple for some kind of hose.

Is this a vent for these things? I suspect that the oil is coming out of
that hole but I don't want to plug it if it is a necessary vent.

I looked at some others, listed on ebay and the parts manual, and none of
them have vented fill plugs.

If I do need it, how do I stop it from spitting oil?

If I don't need it vented, anyone have a cheap fill plug for sale?

Thanks
-Rich
