Hi Roy,
As I remember, there were two different top diff covers, each with a 
different location of the breather. You might try swaping your top cover with one 
having the breather in a different location. Also it is possible (but not likely) 
that your breather is somehow damaged. In any case, you will probably have the 
drop (or lower) the diff to get at the cover.

I'm assuming that you have the correct weight gear lube in the diff. Use 
80W90 multipurpose or 75W90 Synthetic.

What did you do at Chevrolet? Do you have any Corvair stories to share?
