Transmission burping out fluid.....
When I first got my truck 3000 miles ago I did a transmission flush on it. While the machine was doing its thing the transmission burped about a half of a quart fluid out the top trans vent. I finished the flush and cleaned up the mess and steam cleaned the undercarriage. The transmission level has been correct since then but every once in a while it still burps up a small amount of fliud out the vent. When I see the small puddle under the truck I check the fluid level and it has been fine. While changing the oil today I again saw the trans pan soaked with fluid. I think it is only happening when I stop because it does not spray back under the truck. The trans fluid level was a bit below the full level when hot so I know it is not overfilled. I have not towed anything or ran it hot yet still I get the small occasional driping.
Any ideas?

Typically, when fluid comes out it is due to either being over full or over heating. I see gauges are coming in your sig...I hope trans temp is one that's on the way. When the fluid was flushed, was a new filter installed? I'm thinking there might be a clog somewhere that doesn't let fluid flow well enough to cool and is getting hot. Perhaps the trans cooler has some clogs in it too.
