Default Transmission Leak help!!

So I'm driving along and I noticed the temp had risen above 210 but not alot. I was going about 60 mph I went about a mile like that and looked in the mirror and smoke everywhere. I pulled over and there was a good size puddle of tranny fluid. I tried to locate a leak but couldn't. Started it up and checked the fluid and it was above full. I looked again and couldn't find a leak. I know that I had slightly over full before. I can see where the fluid sprayed but can't seem to find a leak. Any ideas?

I checked everything.
I had it towed back to town (my uncle in-law owns a towing company) and then drove home from his shop. It is still full of fluid but no leak now. I have no idea. Is overfilled plus heat/pressure a reason for a bunch to blow out and then stop leaking?

Check the vent tube, it could of just been spewing out from there. Also with the trans sometimes the leaks don't show until you have it warmed up and running. So clean everything as good as possible and take it for another ride and recheck.
