Got a new to me 6-rib hooked behind my ecotec , was letting it idle checking fan temps & such , don't have axles in yet & noticed its pumping oil out the vent hole??? What's it's issue??Image. I filled the trans only to the bottom edge of the fill hole on the driver side. It's prob puked out 1/2 quart or more.

EITHER IT'S FOAMING UP OR WATER GOES TO THE BOTTOM AND OIL FLOATS TO THE TOP. MAYBE IT HAD WATER IN IT B4 YOU TOPPED IT OFF. I BOUGHT A TRANS IN FLORIDA ONCE AFTER A HURRICANE AND IT WAS FULL OF SEA WATER FROM BEING SUBMERGED.

I would drain and refill. I always install a fitting into the nose cone vent hole to allow me to hook a piece of vacuum line to it. Run the rubber line up higher and never worry about this issue again.

Usually just poor quality oil/oil that's far too thick or some moisture in the case for foaming. Or a dodgy aftermarket additive...

Found the issue, or rather Tony Begly did. When I told him what it was doing he immediately said the bearing behind the nose cone was going down, said he had seen this several times. Let him fix it & no problems since.
