I found that hard launches at the track were causing oil to come out of the rear axle vent. It was covered back there. That is a better looking solution than mine - I simply took the vent cap apart and used a hose to extend the length of the vent up and zip tied it to a frame rail. No more oil spray now.

FYI, for those who want to fix this without going the Shelby Kit way, TSB 10-3-7 has a solution:

Got the Shelby tank on my GT, works great. Just wish it didn't cost so much. Better than puking diff fluid onto my race tires, though.

Yes.
One side came with a hose attached and the other side has nothing on it (the fitting in the right of your picture). And in looking at the instructions they never mention doing anything to other fitting.
