2004 jcb 212s

Today was running my jcb 212s down the road in 4th gear for awhile and all of a sudden transmission fluid started pouring out the dipstick it looked a little forthy but it was a good flow. Also seemed to push the dipstick out of the tube a little. Wondering the the deal was. Was recently serviced. I will check the level again tomorrow when it is cool again. Any input. Thanks

    I would check to see if it had been over filled but the best guess would be water in the oil usually from transmission cooler which causes the oil to come from the dipstick tube like you are describing.

    is the tranmisson cooler in the radiator. Could I possibly need a new tranmisson cooler. Anyway to check it. Fluid looked nice and clean. Are the cooler common. Is it expensive/ hard to fix

    If the transmission oil is clean i guess the cooler is ok as it would be a milky looking oil so was the oil at the correct oil. Also on the dipstick tube have you got a small bore pipe connected to the tube as this is the breather.
