Farmtrac 60 steering cyl leak

[ColdBlackWind]

My tractor is pouring fluid from a small hole or vent in the cylinder on the end away from the rod or rh side as it is mounted. The last time it leaked it was around the packing on the rod end. Can’t figure out what this is. Any help appreciated.

It definitely is a vent.

Can you share a picture? So we get an idea of what type of cylinder this is.

I will when I pull it off to rebuild it. Kit on the way from Joes Tractors in NC.
