yes it has to or when it got hot it would breath through the seals
Thanks for that.....
I had drained the 'final drive' gearbox..but coudn't get the filler/level plug undone, unbelievably tight, and sub-frame gets in the way.
I was getting worried and wondered if I could feed oil in through a breather..but..
used an Eezy Bleed brake 'kit' and blew the oil in through the drain hole using tyre pressure and suitable clear plasic pipe....and it worked !
Only lost a little while screwing in the plug.............sorted.
