Knowing on a full floater that the center is one sealed off section, and each tube is also its own sealed off section.I welded a bung on the center section, and drilled and tapped each tube. Installed the little brass vent breathers in the tubes. The center section has a hose hooked to it which goes through the trunk floor, loops up into the C pillar, and back down through the same hole in the trunk floor.
Used to have a short vent tube with a breather, it puked oil constantly when the car was really pushed.Car originally had a semi floating Dana 60, it also puked out the breather when leaned on hard, and that vent came off of one of the tubes.
Ideally I think a breather tank with two ports,one high, and one low, and have the center with 2 bungs. One port to breath, the other to drain the oil back down into the housing.Along with the tube vents. That way one should always be open, allowing optimum windage. That is how my AMX is setup.
Still don't truly understand how the oil expands and pushes out those vents, I just know that it does. More or less had the same problem with the venting of the engine, now have multiple tanks breathing and sending the oil back into the dry sump tank. Man I've learned a lot the last couple years doing this crap, unfortunately learned it all the hard way. Don't know that these are the best fixes available, just know they worked for me.
