Default Need more Slip DIff info

Does anyone know what the small chimney is that sits on top of the diff, the one ive spotted is on the drivers side and sits 1inch inwards from the top cover bolt.
It seems to be very loose, is it ment to be like this as it appears that this is wear my Diff is leaking from.

Default Vent?

How much is it leaking? Is it just damp? I believe that you are talking about the vent. It should have a little cap on it that is loose (you can rock it back and forth).

If it's just damp your ok.

I have a meduim sized leak and it appears to be running down stream from the top somewhere, I wonder if it could be a possibility, anyway of tightening it?
