I am told that my truck has a one-way rear diff breather valve. It only breaths out when it gets hot (air/fluid expansion) in order to vent the pressure buildup. The valve is supposedly one way so theoretically if it goes under very deep water, it won't suck in the water ... That's not a concern for me (for example valve failure) as I never go that deep.
Q:
assuming that it is a truly one-way valve, how does it works after it cools off? Is it in vacuum or will it suck air from the gasket?
