Default T5 trans vent problem?

ok so I'm runnin around 100 on the way back from summit racing this morning and all of a sudden I get nice big smoke cloud behind my car and the smell of burning ATF... pull over and notice the stuff pouring out of the end of the trans at the driveshaft... I'm thinkin the seal came apart or some ****... haul *** to the closest place I can pull the driveshaft and the seal is on the end of the driveshaft dangling... the whole thing came out of the trans yet it appeared unharmed... so I take a hammer and tap it back in... it goes in much easier than a seal should but I stick it all back together and refill it and take a ride... about 40 minutes into the ride it blows out again. so is the seal jacked or is it maybe a clogged vent causing the thing to blow out? where is the vent btw?

ya' know I thought there was a vent on top of the case, but normally there is a sealer around the seal surface that help hold it in place, it's more so of a coating either red oe green
