Leaky Trans

Hi everyone,,my 2011 Super-Duty, 6.8/V-10 with a 5 speed was running fine for about 2500 miles and now it is leaking trans fluid out of the vent cap on top of the trans. There is no indication that the trans is overheating, guage in normal range and trans cooler is warm to the touch and Ford says there is nothing wrong with it. I'm running it about 1/2 quart low for now and that seems to have stopped the spewing. any ideas?

If the leaking stopped after losing a half quart then it sounds like you were overfilled from the factory. How is it looking on the dipstick?
