300 U blowing oil out PTO air vent cap

Can't figure this one out.
Been cutting tall grass all day and have found when I disengage the pto I get oil coming under pressure from the PTO breather cap,when the PTO is engaged and I am cutting it does not blow out any oil. I unscrewed the breather cap and oil came out of the hole as if it were too full.
The two things that I have done lately,but shouldn't influence this was
1. put a new breather cap on the PTO housing.
2 Was to adjust the band as it was slipping under the heavy load of tall grass.
Thought maybe the fluid level was too high, but it isn't.If any thing I would expect more so to see oil coming out while in operation.I cut for most of the day and never had any loss at all.However the trip home disengaed I probably lost a 1/2 quart. Whats up?
