Well I put everything back together added the right amount of trans oil and pulled some narley holeshots,which would usually cause this problem.Drained trans to find it had the same amount that I put in.I hope this could helpful for anyone else if the problem happens to them.I will update if anything changes.

Are you sure youre pushing oil into the primary, or are you going on the assumption it is because of the amount of oil leaking in the vicinity of the trans vent?

I only ask because I've had warped bottom rocker boxes and pinched pushrod tube o-rings on the rear cylinder dump oil right on top of the breather before. A lot of the time you dont notice these leaks until you've run the bike at sustained high rpms, and by that time, you're blowing oil everywhere.

I only noticed it when I drained the trans.Probally a quart over,not including the trans oil.
