Help! Massive ATF leak

[leland21]

So I was driving to work yesterday and noticed a bunch of blue smoke behind me so I pulled over. The fluid is leaking straight out of the plastic air vent on to the exhaust, and it's a lot of fluid. My first guess is that its the torque converter. Any ideas? It's a lot of fluid coming out that stops when I turn the car off.

Probably the torque convertor seal, they can be know to blow out from the return passage getting blocked from the bushing.

Decided if I was gonna go through taking it all out I wasn't gonna replace it with the same old auto. I have chosen to finally do the five speed swap I have been wanting to do since I bought the car.
