Now I see said the blind man. Ok, he removed the sensor and lost some hydraulic oil. Not a good move.
So now he will need to lower the RDM to add hydraulic oil.
The breather hose is for the gear oil chamber not the hydraulic oil chamber.
Take lots of videos, this is Friday the 13th, whatever.

I wish those stupid pop ups would stop messing with my cursor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Look for drain plugs and fill plugs with 3/8" square sockets.
I am assuming you are leaking gear oil and not ATF.
My 2014 TH does not have any drain plugs that I am aware of.
There is a fill plug on the rear left and right side of the RDM.
Personally I not think you should replace the pump seals. If you do and the ATM system needs to be bled, then you will need a WiTech.
I just add gear oil to the two fill plugs and regular intervals to maintain proper 'fill'. Fairly straight forward and does not risk harming anything.
