Overfilled Transmission Fluid isn't the worst thing in the world. Usually it will just either leak a little bit or rob you of your vehicles preformance. If poissible try to drain it to the proper amount. But overfilling transmission fluid is better than not enough. You don't have too much to worry about

Sounds like automatic transmission fluid ( If the transmission has been overfilled or has got water in it once the transmission is warmed up the fluid expands and can come out the vent tube ) or it can be a leak ( the transfer case for the AWD system and the Control Trac 4x4 system also has automatic transmission fluid inside it and the power steering system also uses automatic transmission fluid )
