Default Transmission fluid blows out at high speeds

I was driving down the interstate at about 75-80 and my transmission starts leaking. It only does it on long trips and when driving it hard. It leaks so much that its blowing back onto the exhaust pipe which burns it and causes a trail of smoke to come out from underneath the car. The trans was nearly dry when I got back home from my trip, we put more fluid in it though and all seems well but I know this has to be hard on my transmission. None seems to come out of the trans dipstick pipe it is dry but you can see where it is wet underneath the passenger side of the car close to where the exhaust pipe is. Can anyone please help me out? It didn't do this until I first drove it on the interstate for the first time. Any help would be apreciated.

Check to see where the leak is coming from, If I had to guess I would say either the oil pan seal is going or you have another seal leaking on the passenger side of the transmission. Like I said, check to see whats leaking and replace the seal/gasket
