My '87 also has the fill hole plug with integrated dipstick. I agree that it is tricky to read.
My transmission builds up pressure such that if I loosen the plug I get a slight "whoosh" noise. I understand that there is a pressure vent somewhere in the tranny, but that it cannot be cleaned or easily replaced and that some pressure build up is ok. It does seem extreme that it is blowing past the seal of the dipstick though. Does it seem like it is sealing correctly? Is the o-ring totally toast? To my very limited knowledge, there's nothing that can be done about the pressure and it is not harmful, so you may want to replace the o-ring and see what happens. Let me know if you find out more, I'm curious too.
