A vent system for use in a driveline component of an automotive vehicle. The driveline component includes a housing and a bi-directional clutch rotatably supported within the housing. The driveline component includes a vent system which has a vent that is secured to the housing and an orifice within a top portion of the housing. The vent system also includes a recessed pocket formed on an inner surface of the housing at or near the vent. The vent system also includes a grounding element that is arranged within the recessed pocket adjacent to the orifice in the housing of the rear driveline module. The vent system is used to allow for venting of high pressures developed during high speed rotation of driveline modules within a drivetrain system of a automotive vehicle without allowing the expulsion of a lubricating fluid from the oil housing.
