The first thing we need to do to figure out what we should do is find out where its leaking.If its leaking out as fast as you put it in then its a big leak.Take out your air box where the air filter goes in.Under that is your screw on transmission filter see if that is loose and leaking or just leaking.Let me know what you find.You also try to look under the air filter with a flash light to see if its leaking.Or try to look from underneath just becareful not to get any fluid in your eyes where safety glasses.
