2006 4T65E Fluid Coming Out the Vent

[Darrell La Salle]

I have fluid coming out of the vent on my 4T65E transmission. This happened after replacing the forward band, the pressure sensor and the two solenoids. I thought the plastic Drive Link Lube Scoop was installed incorrectly since the manual I had wasn’t clear on where to install it. I took the transmission back apart and the only thing that found wrong was that I forgot to tighten the top two oil pump bolts on the pump. The heads are 13mm and the other bolts have to10mm. I left the two top bolts finger tight. The Case Cover Gaskets, upper and lower, are good. The top of the pump is in the vicinity of the vent so I think the pump is allowing a stream of fluid to flow at or near the vent causing the problem. Before I put this back together, is there anyone who has had this problem or left these bolts loose.
