Default 12 Bolt Excessive vent leakage

I think what I have is excessive vent leakage... I used a swagelock fitting and tube tie wrapped straight up to the body but I still get a small puddle from it. Any ideas?

I may have overfilled it I put 3 quarts in it like the Moser install instructions said, Now I see it should be 2 to 2 and 1/2. I will let it leak till it stops I guess.

Dont tell me....... you have one of those worthless girdle covers too right ?? (the only reason I say its worthless, is that I know the guy who invented that little money maker.... just for that.... to make money. Even he said it did nothing but bandaid weak main caps in a differential that was destined for a four cylinder pick up truck and no more than 200 hp).

I dont care if Moser said the sky was falling and that they said they had to walk through the candy cane forrest, past the land of swirly twirly gumdrops to get to the Lincoln tunnel.

3qts is overfull.
