Default tranny question really weird

Every time I get on it hard It leaks tranny fluid? Its not bad but I smelll it on the exhaust and the clutch is weak I know that but it shifts just fine under normal driving and hard drivin. Is it over filled or the vent tube is broke just not sure where to start.

LS1 or LT1?? If it is an LT1 it could be the front bearing over the input shaft is broken. If it is an LS1 stumped me. Broken vent tube likely but even then unless it had way to much fluid it should not be blowing out and leaking. Let us know what tranny and what kind of car.

It may be the vent tube I dont rember the white cap on it and yes its a big chance I over filled it. Because when i put it in some came out and I added 4 quarts to it. Plus it leaks only when I get on it real hard for a long time. Only place for it to come out is the vent and plug. If its the shaft then it will be all in the bell and its clean. Here I go freakin out again from a mistake I made and its a ls1

LS1's don't have the "quill". It only holds 4quarts max.
