Hi All,

I haven't had that problem, but I have had oil drip out of the vent after
getting the oil sloshing while moving the pig.  I haven't had the problem
since I built a castor plate for it.  My guess is you have pressurized air
in the pig and the vent isn't working right.  When I first had mine there
was a vacuum on it.
