Yes. Gases inside expand as they get hot with sufficient pressure to blow your axle seals. Best get a breather on there.

well the axle was re tubed, and i didn't think about iit. i've seen back covers with tubes coming out, so i guess i can weld a peice of tube or half of a steel tube connector in the back cover

If you do that then make sure it isn't where there will be oil splash or you'll just leak oil.
