Mine has puked fluid since I did the relocation. If it comes out again, I plan on reversing it. Just some insight from experience. Did you overfill it? I don't see how closing 1 vent and opening another would make it puke fluid. It wasn't overfilled. It has been almost one year (probably 3000 miles) and I just had to add the first quart. The original vent is behind the passages in the front pump. When you relocate it, you are drilling a hole in the housing behind spinning parts. My theory on what is happening is that the centrifugal force is introducing a small amount of fluid to the line and the pressure is slowly moving it out. Some days I don't see any fluid hit the ground, other days it may leave a puddle 4-5 inches across. I have considered running it to my air box to keep the line cleared, but haven't followed through. |

The vent is at the top of the transmission and the hose ends at the top of the dipstick tube. |

So you plugged the original vent and made a new one then ran it up and out? I'm just asking for clarification.

I plugged it, drilled a hole in the top of the case and put a barbed 90° fitting on it. I ran a hose from that fitting to the top of the dipstick tube and let the end of the hose hang down. |
