The breather tube that runs up & over the valve cover is for the front differential.

Could someone explain to me how you overfill a transmission that’s fitted with a combined filler/level plug?

Since ATF expands with heat and if the ATF fluid is below the recommended temp for the check level, you can overfill the trans by adding fluid to the trans before it reaches the temp that it needs to be in order to perform a accurate check of the fluid level.
