I have not personally encountered this problem, and hopefully someone with specific experience will contribute, but it sounds like there could be a problem with the vent. New ones can be purchased at an auto parts store.
Transmission Fluid expands when it gets hot, which is why they want you to check it hot. Might be something to do with that. Make sure you have the correct amount.
The yoke on the driveshaft of a gm turbo 350 trans has a small vent hole in it. If the trans is over filled to the point fluid comes out of it you will do serious damage to the trans if you try to drive the vehicle.
the only thing different would the internals of the trans the turbo trans is a heavy duty trans.
turbo trans am came out in 81
80w90 gear oil works fine. so need for synthetic in your case.
you have a belt driven turbo? how old is that car turbos were belt or chain driven when first invented to keep planes in the air. i know of know car with a belt driven turbo
Probably a turbo 350 trans. This is a three speed trans. The way for you to check is to look at the trans pan. look up a picture of a turbo 350 trans and compare it to your trans pan.
supercharger is belt driven and turbo is exhaust driven. supercharger boost is based on rpm and turbo boost is based on load and exhaust volume.
A supercharger is belt driven and a turbocharger is exhaust driven
The '76 olds delta had a Turbo-Hydromatic 375 (TH375B) transmission. This trans had a lot of shared internals with the TH400 but in a lighter package. This was a great trans and I actually lost an external cooler and still was able to limp home ~10miles w/o any fluid left in the trans.

Exhaust gases
Should be a plug at the side of the transmission - fill to this level
The vent is located towards the front of the tranny on the drivers side just above the fluid pan mount. daner@copper.net
