Front Diff Vent Location

Does anybody know where the front diff vent is located. I've got leaky axle seals and wanted to check the vent. I can't seem to see it anywhere on the housing. Thanks

According to Mag-Hytec, the front difs come in 2 flavors; with and without the vent. My 02 is vented (some aren't) and the tube is located right on the upper face of the cover.

Thanks Commatoze<br>I guess I must have the unvented option. Might have to rig one up.

On my 95 the vent comes out near the axle disconnect and there is a hos attached to it with some type of breather in it

Thanks
I guess I better crawl under there and have another look.


Update....
The vent hose comes off the CAD housing and runs up behind the air filter box. I took it off and cleaned it out. Hopefully it'll take care of my leaky axle seals.
