the bottom of the dipstick is typically submerged in fluid so if the vent gets pluged or the tranny is building more preasure than the vent can deal with its going to push fluid out the dipstick tube. it does happen.

if the car roles over the fliud will poor out the vent not the dipstick tube.

a certain amount of presure will build before a seal leaks.
