Re: transmission leak

That's the breather cap. Not sure why oil would leak there. Is the transmission over filled with fluid? Is your rubber breather cap missing?

Re: transmission leak from breather cap

the trans should take 2.5 quarts of fluid. drain what you have and start over

removing the upper "fill" plug/bolt will drain the excess leaving the correct amount in the case. same idea as what you're saying, just less work/waste.
