Breather on 7HA rear end?

Can you folks help me out with this one...

I recently changed the cover gasket on the 7HA rear of my
'62 4/4 to stop an annoying small leak that was growing larger.

Almost immediately thereafter the pinion seal started leaking
in tremendous quantities.  I replaced that as well.

A Morgan friend and mechanic, Jim Perman in Connecticut,
suggested the breather hole might be plugged and when the
oil warmed and expanded it was forced to go somewhere, 
and thus the gaskets and seals popped.

I've looked for a breather hole or device all over the rear end
and axle tubes, but to no avail - can't find the little devil.
Jim had suggested it was at the top of one axle tube or 
the other (couldn't recall which side), but my tubes are
solid - no breather hole.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
