After not having any issues with the new transmission for the first 5,000 miles, it has taken to spitting some fluid out of the vent (yes, I have an elbow on it with a hose to the outside of the frame in place of the vent cap) It lost close to a quart on the trip to Big Bend (1333 miles).

Is this a symptom of a partially plugged filter? I am planning to service it anyway, and probably should have done a first fluid change sooner than at 7500 miles.
