G'day,
Awhile back I commented on an email noting that if the trans vent spewed oil
the sender would stick some old socks on top of it.
I responded by noting that would not be a good idea and was rewarded with
more comments by the sender that he was joking which I found as humorous as
someone yelling "FIRE" in a crowed theater as a joke.
I received an off net message from another GMCer wondering what would cause
fluid to spew from the vent.
I visited Manny on the way back to Australia and he advised that a leak of
sufficient volume into the chain case that couldn't drain back into the pan
fast enough would raise the volume to a level that the chain could / would
sling around the ID of the chain case and out the vent. A loose worn chain
could also cause the problem.
Regards,
Rob M.

Wasn't it also mentioned a while back that if the transmission was over filled that fluid could/would spill out the vent?
That discussion I believe was about how to calibrate the dipstick and set the correct oil level by pulling the modulator valve.

The experts agree Tube Socks it is! If you use a light color sock then you can see when they get dirty and need to be changed.
