or

you are overfilling your tranny. the pan can only hold about 5 liters, so if you are tyring to fill it up all the way by just pouring it in, after about 5 liters it will come out of the vent above the pan. put in 4 liters, then start engine and without moving go through the gears slowly, stopping in each position. then fill up to full.
dont forget to heat the tranny up to temp before getting the correct about in.

will it hurt the tranny to have it overfilled? say 1/2 inch above the
mark?
