you can setup a hose between the two fillers, and add some extra oil they will feed each other then

I'm assuming you talking about a 'Cruiser problem. If you want to you can replace the seal with the one used between the auto trans an the transfer case - it's double lipped where as the manual box type seal isn't.

Hilux suffer the same fate too - and they can have a quick fix with the hose between the two.

Remove both filler plugs. Drill and tap a hole in each to suit a suitable threaded barb. Rightangled may be better.
Replace, put a piece of oil safe hose with clamps between them.
