was it possibly plugged... that will cause it to spit out.... clean it off and check the level go for a rip and see if it comes out again...

polaris fluid gearcase

The gearcase is seperate from motor, the fluid is polaris trans fluid coming out the vent tube. The dealer said 32 0z of polaris fluid but it seems to vent alot of that so maybe its a lower amount.

check to see if there is another vent cap closer to the top of the diff might look like a button... if there is make sure it not plugged....

Thanks for the input Gumby. I could not find any additional vent ports and I am totally stumped. Maybe there is some kind of baffle built in behind vent port to keep fluid from splashing up into port???
