By the casing, do you mean the axle housing? Yeah, a picture would sure help. There should be a vent fitting on the axle housing, 1/8" NPT tapping. On earlier axles it's on the passenger side axle tube a bit left of the banjo section. If that's what you mean, don't JB weld it shut. If you don't have a vent, you'll get oil pushed out the axle seals onto the brake shoes. Not good.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
