Have a 98 ford contour and recently it has been spewing transmission fluid out from the top of the dipstick. The amount that comes out is about a qt or mare at a time. It usually happens after you stop and shut motor off. Its a v6 automatic. Why is this happening?

There is a vent on the top of the trans that may be clogged not allowing the system to breathe. Have it checked to see if it is the issue
