I would just clean it up and monitor.

I am in no way questioning your knowledge and appreciate all the help you provide on this forum. But I am curious as to what would cause the above?
One can only put the fluid in as fast as gravity and the dipstick tube will allow unless of course one is somehow pressurizing the fluid and forcing it in. Even then I'm trying to understand what would cause it to burp the fluid unless of course as previously mentionned the vent in the pump suddenly became plugged which seems unlikely. confused shruggy
Again, thank you and Mr. Kunkle for all the help you both provide up


Assuming you added the fluid when they trans was cold - thermal expansion and fluids being slung around during fill can cause the vent or dipstick to leak.
The dipstick tube is downwind from rotating parts so that can add to the issue.

Depending how long the pan was off, the converter drains a tad as well. Expelling fluid/air from the converter adds to the issue.

“In plant” fill at the assembly plants had us doing a step fill. To prevent false leaks.


Hmm, never heard or experienced it, thanks for the response wink
