Don't know if the problem is the same in a YJ as it is on a WJ but the problem is fixed by moving the fluid accumulator and jiggle valve up a few more inches and making sure it's fastened in an upright position.
According to Chrysler WJ's were prone to do this if you started driving at highway speeds before the fluid was up to temp which would cause a high pressure condition in the diff forcing the oil up and out.

probably that the little cap at the end of the breather is "jammé "clugged

turn it by hand several times until it is free .....normaly it solves the problem
