[Healeys] Overdrive Question

Somebody suggested that the reason that BN1 gearboxes leak is that they are
not "vented".
I have been thinking about this as I was sure that they are vented..
Well they are and here is how...

The above is the gearbox vent. It is located on the top of the overdrive
unit, in this case a 32% and, as the gearbox and overdrive units share a
common oil reservoir this vent serves them both.
All Healey overdrives have this vent (or breather) on a BJ8 its part number
is 17H5825
Just sayin'.
