manual transmission fluid replacement

hey guys, i did my manual tranny fluid replacement today and i expected to use 2.6 qts im using redline mt90 on my 88 n/a. and right when i was done with my second bottle.. not even.. it started drippin'.. i kno its only supposed to be to the full mark of the filler plug..

is this normal?? only 2 qts?? not 2.6?

any insight would be helpful thanks.

Was your car level when you fill your trans?

would think so. If anything try level it as best possible. If is not possible to get it more level. If not possible to be more level jacking the front end up is better. If you want to be acurate just put .6 bottle of trans fluid in the trans. If you choose to jack only the front end up trans fluid will not flow out of the trans so be sure not to over fill.
