actually trans oil doe not go into engine if your engine oi Is higher it's because of short hops an d there would be more fuel in the oil or the hed gasket may be blown which I kind a lean toward fuel in oil with short hops causing your problem. pull the dipstick an dsee if it smells gassy, if it does change oil and filter.

it wouldn't come through the rear main. In 50 yrs of repairing cars I have never seen a transmission empty into an engine. unless it had a vacuum line connected which yours does not. they are two separate systems . It almost seems like an impossibility to me. Have a local trans shop look at this.......
