The second pic is supposed to be like that, it’s a breather for the gearbox or diff, so they don’t drown when wading. Can’t help with first pic though.

That looks very similar to the breather pipe that comes out of the side of the battery. |

Make sure that filter isn't a one way filter. Breather pipes allow air to escape when things get hot and then allow air back in when they cool down. If it has a check valve built in it'll either let air out but not back in or air in but not out. If air can't move freely in or out then oil gets forced out passed the oil seals or air/water/muck gets sucked in. Easy way to check is to pull it off the pipe and put it to your mouth and blow through it, then suck if you can do both all's good, put it back on, if not replace it with one without a check valve. |
