You'll have to add a breather somewhere. That can be used as the filler, too.

Get a piece of aluminum tubing the correct size, drill a hole at the proper angle and weld it in. Or you can get a piece of chromed tubing the correct size, drill the hole the right size and angle for a press fit and glue it in with something like J B Weld or other epoxy.
