Here are a few things to check.

First, the tranny oil cooler in front of the radiator for blockage. The radiator is oversized and may be partially blocked but the area of the tranny cooler is totally blocked. Use a water or air hose to blow out from behind.

You may have a build up of moisture in the transmission case which is now getting hot enough to boil the moisture out. The ejected fluid would be foamy white. If so, consider a complete fluid drain and refill and filter x2 change. The ops manual describes the procedure to drain the fluid as there are numerous drain plugs.

Check your transmission fluid when cold for the proper level.

If you have an infrared thermometer, check temps on the tranny case, pre and post cooler after warming up the oil.

Let us know what you come up with.

The trans fluid was a little over filled(2 gallons), should have checked this before I came on here, drained it off, trans fluid looks new, guess someone changed it and got carried away with refill, ran it afterwards and its not coming out the vent or getting hot,
