I think you are going to have to get under and find out exactly where it's from.

The vent on that trans is on top of the case so unless the trans is at a severe angle, for it to be coming out while stationary it would have to be totally full of fluid and then some. The speedo/governor drive worm if installed backward can throw oil out the vent but the car has to be moving for that to happen. Also check the tightness of the oil cooler lines and make sure the dipstick cap is tight.

Is the fluid pure? If the trans oil cooler has sprung a leak, pressurized coolant could be forced back into the trans when the engine stops. Normally that would not happen but is a possibility if there is no higher counterpressure from the trans pump to prevent it.
