7.5" rear wheel bearing oiling??

I was reading somewhere, that the 7.5" has two holes on the edge of the housing, and that you need to have the proper gasket for these holes. After my gear install i had to change the fluid after 500miles, and i don't remember my gasket having the holes? I am just getting scared....lol. I guess i'll pull it off this next year when i get it out to make sure i have the right one. I am pretty sure i do, but don't want to risk it.

Dont even use a gasket, just put the cover back on with RTV and forget about it.

If I remember correctly the holes actually allow the oil to drain back to the case. I think...
