Default Tranny fluid leaking into primary?

I changed my tranny fluid and went for a ride. Next day I checked Tranny fluid and it was 8 oz low. Then checked Pri fluid and it was 8 oz high. Anybody know of this and what is the fix?Thanks.

That about all I can think of that would cause this issue on a 5 speed machine, other than overfilling.

Don't think I ever heard of an evo pushing trans lube into the primary, they didn't start doing that till the 6 speeds and helical cut gears.

So I changed my tranny and primary fluids again and made sure they were proper level. Going run out about 1/2 tank petrol and check the levels again. There was no clogged vents.
Went for a little run after fluid change and I sure luv this 111.
