i've been having the same problem with the breather so i've done the fluid level thing before. depends on your system how much fluid it has but when everything is hot the level should only be to the top of the pan! i have a hose coming off my tailshaft breather running up to the firewall where i've installed a mini k&n style filter, this seems to prevent the fluid spewing on the track & giving the track crew grief. good luck with racing the 'cuda
