Two years ago I was having trouble with my trans puking fluid after a couple runs out of both the vent and the dipstick tube. We fought the problem all year, taking the trans completely down twice and several discussions with a couple of trans companies. I finally threw it out on this board and my problem ended up being the filter in the Moroso cooler. I took it out and no more puking. During thid period if I saw even a little bit of fluid I'd put it in the trailer. Wasted a bunch of money that summer. Several years ago I hit some fluid at the big end of an 1/8th mile track. Only going 102 at the time but I'll tell you I don't want to do that again. Went thru the traps sideways. I don't mind buying an approved tube if that's the requirement.

YET... yeah I'll get one of the stupid plugs but I dont and never had a issue of fluid coming out of the dip stick tube and mine is only about 10" long

Not saying because of this, but any chance of oil on the track should be stopped.
