TH350 squirting fluid out of dipstick prob.
Ok, one day a few weeks ago I start my car and tranny fluid squirts out of my dipstick onto my headers. Can you say smoke show? So the other day I was setting my timing and wanted to see the total advance and it does it again. So today I drain out about a quart. I warm the car up, drive it around and check the level. It's just in the crosshatch area and says to add a quart. I don't think so. So I'm driving around and have to stop kinda quick for a light, and it blows out from the dipstick again. This is after I drained a quart out of it and it had never done that before I drained it when it was fuller. So I take it out on the freeway to beat on it cause I'm starting to get pissed, and I needed some coffee. Same thing, come to a stop on the off ramp and the smoke show begins. Everyone is looking at me like I'm an azzhole, but anyways. Why would this keep happening? Pump maybe? Filter? Thanks. I posted this on the tranny board also. But that place seems to be pretty dead. I hope it's ok to post it here. Thanks.

It sounds like maybe the vent tube on top is clogged. Sometimes dirtdobbers (bees) get in the tube to build their nest. Also, when I was in my 700r4 to put in a shift kit, there was a small hole in the housing where the pan gasket is that can get blocked by the gasket or maybe just crud. I know you said you have a 350, but there may be something similar on it. That's all I can think of. Good luck.
You were right. Thanks.
Problem solved. I had the breather hole plugged with a bolt cause it was leaking out when I was moving to storage and I forgot to unplug it and put the breather back in. OOOOOPS:lala:
