Trans help

Ok so today was my like, 12th event, ran a few last year and almost very event this year. I'm getting a little better and pushing the car a lot hard then last year.
My issue is this, we did some fun runs at the end of the day and I opened the hood to cool off a little after a couple runs and found the trans was burping enough fluid out of the vent up top that it started reaching the ground. Needless to say I called it a day. I guess I was spining a lot more then I thought.

If I go to a stickier tire like R's-3's or star specs will the stickier tire eliminate my issue or am I gonna have to find a diff? I seem to spin a lot, and I think that's about the biggest thing holding me from prgressing farther. The car is going where I want it to but half the time I hit the gas it just starts to spin.

Can't give you any answers, but i will say this- after 3 years of racing with an open diff, I'm kicking myself for not spending the money sooner to put an LSD in the car. Its been a world of difference.

Auto-x.
Fox thanks for the response. Honestly I forgot I made this thread lol. Yeah the more I thought a out it I realized the car leaned more then it did with the ebiachs. I think that might be it. I have done a event since, I have changed the trans fluid shortly after and it looked to be in really good shape, good color no flakes.
I thnk my problem is from the amount of lean I get out of stock ss/sc springs.

Honestly I'm at a point where I don't know if I wanna spend the money on this car or say **** it and move on to something RWD........
