If the locker uses vacuum, it can suck oil when working, and blow it out the pump exhaust.

If they use pressure, and the vent is plugged, a leaky o-ring with a plugged vent would pressurize the whole axle housing, and it woud leak everywhere, and when subsequently shut off, pressure would push oil out the lines.

I guess I would check the vent before tearing into it.
