Any history on the box, age, mileage was it serviced or recently oil changed???? Has it not been on the highway before? Selector seals won't suddenly
go, the breather is just above the selector shaft....

its a single side plate irs superbug box it could possibly be from the breather, Its been on the highway many a time without a problem oil has been in
there for many trips without a hiccup as well it just seems weird that its all of a sudden its started leaking out like it has but any help would be
great

Yeah, well that's pretty odd then. You'll have to clean it and diagnose where it's coming from. The selector shaft is inside the tunnel....Have a
look at wear and oil from under the back seat at the coupling.

Not really, must be over full. Maybe the car was jacked to one side when filled? Unless DB can help, nothing I know of will make a tranny pump from
the stock breather. If it's old, maybe wear at the intermediate housing from the thrust loads has created an oil passage????
I'd be checking the level on level ground and if high let some out to the filler plug, if ok, more investigation required.

Perhaps the breather itself is blocked? Allowing pressure to build when heating up.
