Transmission oil pushing out thru dipstick when reverse is engaged

What can cause oil to push out of the transmission?
Only in reverse. we have checked all the seals on the shaft and piston. Box was OK until we fitted new reverse clutch packs,
didn't touch the rest of the box, now it has this problem.
Any Ideas?

Thank god for forklifts.
Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
we found the problem, technician changed transmission but took the control valve off the faulty unit and put it onto the exchange transmission, but he never told anyone.
the control valve had bits of rag in it!!
Moral of the story?
COMMUNICATE.
Thanks for any and all replies

Oil level perfect. Doesn't happen until you select reverse.

It sounds like the transmission is over filled. Drain fluid and Check proper oil level

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
