BIG Tranny Fluid leak

So I have a perspective buyers for my car coming today.

My car decides it doesn't want to be sold and pukes out all it's tranny fluid.

Last night after the kids are in bed, I decide to hit the garage and clean the car up.

I end up putting gas in it and driving it. I start increasing the boost. The car feels awesome.

3000 stall with a PT51 turbo and 57 lb injectors - I'm at 18 lbs boost (25 is the sweet spot for this setup)

Did a few holeshots, then hit the throttle at a 25 mph roll and tranny fluid coming out of the torque converter cover like it's coming out of a garden hose.

I took the inspection cover off, nothing looks broke, it looks like too much fluid to be the front seal.

Any ideas? Trans is a Buick 200 (has a lock up converter)

In his book, Chris suggests enlarging the pump drain back holes to .250... that will move a LOT of fluid, which makes me think that you probably just popped the seal.
