Smile 71/2 inch plated gripper diff

Hi
just fitted one of these to my cossie I fill it it to the
level plug with millers crx ls 80w90 oil it seems to be
making alot of internal pressure in the diff because it's
blowing oil out of the breather I put in an extra long
pipe all up to the filler cap it's still coming out have I
overfill it or using the wrong grade oil it's semi synthetic
trannmission oil but it does say suitable for LSD or
should I be using a oil which is more LSD only type
cheers for any advice Bill
