Got the z back on the road after a 3 year tear down. I have been driving it fairly easy for about 100 miles, put it up on the lift and found a small leak on the rear of the transmission, didn't think much of it, thought it might be coming from the speed cable.

 

well... I took it out last night to do some tuning and beat on it pretty good, pulled up to the house looked underneath the car to find gear oil everywhere.

 

I got up today to investigate and I found the top of the vent cap is broke off. I am going to put a new vent cap in first before i go pulling the trans and replacing the rest of the seals.

 

My question is has anyone had this issue? I have searched but I only found a vent issue related to a diff.

 

I will post my findings after I install the new cap and put a few miles on it.
