Counter shaft seal would only leak if it is running as the oil level is not high enough to leak from there when parked. Jmo

I heard if it's overfilled the fluid pressure can build up and blow past the seal. Is that correct?

Pros and cons to blocking off the vent?

No cons. It is actually below oil level. I'm certain it is left over from the RZ350's thermostat system. (Why it has 2 screw bungs next to it)  Even the Banshee Clymer refers to it as a coolant hose. New lockout covers do not have a provision for it at all.

I remember putting that hose in soapy water when I did leak down, was that to check the crankshaft seal?
It's been awhile I think I'm confused, would that mean I would have to remove clutch cover to check for air leak if the hose is blocked off?

Depends which hose, the front one tees to the rear one, if you put the rear only hose or the end going up the  steering you'd be OK at checking the crank seal.
