97 Escort automatic ..after 50 miles of driving I see trans. fluid that blow out of the dipstick tube. Have the trans. fluid change 20,000 miles ago and no problem. Somebody told me that the transmission vent is blocked. Does anybody know where is it, a picture will help a lot. If transmission vent is not the answer, can you plese help me what is wrong with it.
Please help because I do not have money to bring it to the repair shop.
Thank you.
