The internal seals are probably worn or hard.

hey just a note ive put in some trans medic and it hasnt had that problem since the container looks like a quart of oil "grey" im not sure of the name but it cost me about $8 for the quart and has worked fine so im figuring the seals were hard as stuart said above and the medic fixed it for now but its been more than a year
