there is a gasket that sits between the tranny and the plate /w t3h 6 bolts. if its fucked you'll leak a ton of gear fluid from around that general area.

You can use RTV to seal it.

you overfilled your tranny. Fill it from the fill plug next time.

2.5qts is full and you probably had a little left over in the case, so you overfilled it.
