Breather thread "slack" in the diff ! Any solution ?

[David*BJ70]

After a off road trip with crossing water, I inspect all my fluid and specialy my extend breather line.

Then I realize my front breather ( the breather metal bolt) was "slack".

I "play" with the breather to figure what was the problem... and I come out of the diff !?!

The breather thread look OK, so I figure the diff thread for the breather is worn.

Because I don't want the change the front diff !!! I want to do something on the diff breather hole... but what ?

I'm looking for some opinion :

- put a LOT of teflon tape aroud the breather ?
- put thread scellant around the breather ?

...what esle ???

- tap a bigger hole in the diff and find a breather adapter ?

Any opinion please !

Thank
