Howdy Fellas —

Having an issue with ATF pushing out around the cap on my reservoir under acceleration. The can was resealed a few years ago and hasn't had any issues until lately. At idle it's fine, but once engine speed increases it starts seeping out.

The control valve was replaced a couple of years ago due to a bad leak with a rebuilt unit from concourse parts. Never had an issue with over pressurization. Fluid level is correct and not overfilled. It doesn't appear to leak when the wheel is turned, just with engine sped up. Link to video below.

Thoughts?
