Yeah ya better check it again in a couple of weeks like Adam mentioned, doesn't make sense why the oil is in that condition. If your breather is clogged that can lead to blown seals, check it immediately.

It is on the D side axle tube, rhere the brake line comes down. Should be a hose that run's to under the bed. There is a bracket that the main brake line hook's too and the breather tube.

No it's black. Blow in it, it should take some air easily.

If you dont see anything in the end you are fine. We took this way farther than needed. Check your fluid in a week or so, if it is milky again, change it again. I doubt you will have any issues!
