Planojc mentioned in another thread about "venting problems due to the short torque tube on the Mitchell".

I experienced this also after I installed the Mitchell. It appears with the Mitchell in the torque tube the rear end has no where too vent (unless your seals leak). My rear end started leaking oil out the top banjo bolts where my Panhard bar attaches.

I installed a vent and has been working fine for ~2 years.

Just something to be aware of when you install an O/D in the torque tube.
