Title: Front Bearing Vent Cap for oil bath

I have CR 1709 hubs on my front wheels. I suspect one of the vent caps is not properly venting and it has caused some of the front bearing oil to leak. I would like to buy replacement vent plugs for the hubs, but I seem to be only able to find ones for 1 1/8" holes (red caps). My vent plug is green, and it has a hole that is only about 0.7" diameter. Does anyone know of a source for the vent plug in a Chicago Rawhide CR 1709 hub?
Thanks

Why not just clean the vent hole out with a toothpick?
