Fuel and diff. fluids containment

During road racing I seem to loose fluids from the vent tubes of the differential and fuel filler tube.
Differential- I have the vent tube running as high as possible with a couple of sweeps in it but I still get oil coming thru the tube and leaking all over the underside. Any suggestions on how to capture the oil and still allow the vent to work?
The fuel- I have a lemans gas cap and have used an expandable rubber tappered plug for the filler tube but the fuel comes up the vent tube and leaks out thru the gaskets onto the paint around the lemans cap. Any solutions?
