Yes they do have a vent hole it is on top on It looks like a bronze plug. It is sinered in the center of the plug so check to see if you might have gotten paint on it.
Mine started leaking on the drives side too. Never was able to stop it.
I had so many problems with my 12 bolt i ended up selling it and going with a 9".
Good luck
