last night while it was raining i was having my fun in the street puddles( deep street puddles:D ) anyway this morning i go to start my X to snag me some taco bell and when i get there, i heard this dripping water noise from under the truck. so i open the door and leaned down to see a crap load of dark red fluid comming out from the bottom. so i get my double deckers and go home to take a closer gander at the problem and when i get there nothing happend. i waited like 15 min under the truck and finally it did it again. i started her up and checked the fluid level and it was way over full. is just a simple case of to much water or is there a bigger problem i should be worried about?

BTW i called my dad and he said that if it had to much water it would look milky-ish. and it was dark red when it came out.
 






Check the coolant level. The only way the transmission fluid level can increase is fairies in the night or engine coolant leaking in the radiator to the transmission cooler. It should show up soon enough. This causes boiling and venting of fluid. Check fluid level at radiator. This will prevent proper operation of the overflow tank
