If they overfill it (which can be common) the problem will come back in spades. I wouldn't expect that alone to cure any noises either, but maybe you'll get lucky.Well dropped her off this morning, and they called me about noon and said they are replacing the breather and it should be done by tomorrow. Hopefully they know to change my gear oil since half of it was covering my axle.
I've been hearing a strange rattle noise in low rpms coming from my rear, so I jacked it up, and I ran into this. My driver side part of the axle is covered in what looks like oil. It looks to be slowly leaking out of the tube.

I'm thinking about turning it in under warranty but I'm not sure if they will service it due to the tune. Any suggestions?
I though that thing didn't work, since it almost always got melted by the exhaust.
To solve the problem once and for all you can get one of these as well:
http://www.revanracing.com/products/bobs-auto-sports-axle-reservoir.html
KR Style Axle Reservoir, puts a tank above the axle, fluid heats up, goes to the reservoir, fluid cools down, it drains back into the axle.
I put on one my car, it's a very well manufactured and nicely designed piece. No more fluid everywhere.
Should still be covered under the "POWERTRAIN" warranty (not necessarily the 3 yr/36k bumper-to-bumper warranty).
The new/updated fix is to put the finned aluminum cover from the GT500 on with a breather cap installed on the top of it and cap off the one that is on the axle.
I just had this done. Brought it in last year for leaking breather vent. They replaced/fixed it. Was leaking again this year and brought it back one day over my 3 years...guy said it didn't matter (I was prepared for battle) since it was still covered under POWERTRAIN.
They capped the old vent, installed the new diff cover with vent on top, replaced diff fluid and sent me on my way. No charge...and no complaints on my end.
