'96 Differential Vent???
Can someone tell me where the differential vent is on a '96 CE LT4? Buddy's Vette developed a sudden, big pinion seal leak and we want to make sure the vent isn't plugged.

Top of the rear cover near the 'right' side bolt that retains cover to the differential. This linked image should work. My NOS rear covers are boxed and not close. If you've still questions I can get a snapshot of a NOS GM rear cover for you.

I'm JimArn's buddy and see the vent in the picture. Thanks I appreciate the help. I can't see the vent from under the car, though. I'll probably need a mirror to get a look at it. Is it accessible with the rear assembly in the car? What kind of contraption is it and how does it come apart for inspection?
