Out the vent hose for the transmission? Bad crank seal.

Out the "oil bag" (which is actually an oil box, for the dry sump motor)? Then I foget what it is (but it's been covered a lot in the archives). Somebody will chime in...

simply overfilling can cause the oil tank to "vent" once it warms up to operating temp. It will blow the top
