12 bolt issue with Autocross use. I have a Moser 12 bolt with a Eaton 33 splice HD posi. with 3:73's. It has a breather tube on the drivers side of the cars axle tube. We looped the tube up as high as we could and tied it off to a brake line. I run on Kuhmo V710's, lots of grip.
At a recent autocross that was run clockwise (mostly right turns) the tube spilled out some axle lube. I assume some of the prolonged sweepers push the oil up the tube. What can be done to prevent this, possibly an pcv valve or some sort of a catch can. I was thinking the valve would close when oil hit it but would allow expanding gases to escape..
Thank you for your input in advance.

Is the tube open? The stocker has a plastic "vent" type thing to keep oil in and water out.
My 87 GMC truck has long breather tube going from the rear up to the frame with one of those plastic vents held in place with a hose clamp. Maybe you could snag one at a junk yard off a truck.
