Gel batteries (Optima is one brand) don't need venting.
You can run them upside down.

Even if it's vented, if the seat gets real hot and starts
smoking, you're probably missing the red plastic cover
that protects the positive post from contacting the wire
frame of the seat bottom.  When that happens, it shorts
out, heats up, and burns the foam.  If you catch it in
time, you won't lose the car. And the smell goes away
in a few days. AMHIK :)
