I haven't asked a question about my '48 Super A in 3 years... life is good!
Other forum entries lead me to believe it's not uncommon for a Super A (and other) gearbox to contain some amount of invasive water. My Super A produces a fountain of oil/water milkshake through the gear shift tower after 5-10 minutes of light travel. I see two holes in the top surface of the gearbox behind the 8-bolt shift lever plate and in front of the PTO join. These two holes appear to be "plugged" with cork stoppers... painted red in the previous owner's partial restoration. At least one of these plugs appears to be porous enough to permit rain water into the gear box.
What is the real purpose of these two holes?
How should they be filled?
Do/Should I have some sort of vent system other than these two holes?
What am I not asking that I should be?
Thanks in advance for your time and attention. You guys/gals have helped me in the past. Even when I haven't posted questions, I have found helpful answers to my tractor problems.

The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
