My transmission gushes oil out of a hole at the bottom in tha back near the rear servo cover when it is shifted in reverse. What do I need to do to fix this I never see it before

Can you possibly post a picture of the location of the leak? That would be beneficial in helping to troubleshoost the problem.

Ron, I may have found the issue.
i had an after market shifter (B&m hammer) on the transmission and when I took the two bottom bolts off the servo cover to remove the bracket for the shifter cable the seal may have squeeze out.
i may have pinched it when I retightened the bolts and caused the servo piston pressure to push the atf fluid out thru the pinched seal.
ill find out this coming weekend hope it’s that easy.

That sounds logical. If you suddenly have a problem that you didn't have before, then go back to the last thing you did on the car, and that usually is the problem. Hope you got that fixed.
