The Ford Barn

When pulling the engine out of a model A that's been sitting for a little while, I drained the antifreeze using the petcock on the lower radiator hose. It came out nice clean green. After I disconnected everything else and began to lift out the engine, as I lifted it out, when the trans started to incline downwards more antifreeze came out of a weep hole in the bottom of the front clutch housing. It came out as a pretty strong steady stream. Is this normal? Is there something I should be concerned about?
