Tranny fluid is leaking. is this normal?

[stckmojop]

I just got done replacing a clutch and my moronic friend ruined my passenger side halfshaft so i can't put that assembly together until i get the hub spindle off the halfshaft.
i decided to go ahead and fill the tranny fluid and after about 2 bottles it started pouring out the hole when the halfshaft goes into the tranny. Is this bound to happen since the halfshaft isn't in there or am i gonna have to take the tranny off again and look for a bad seal?

any feedback would be much appreciated

It is going to leak if you have the half shaft out. After all, there is a big hole there.

I would also replace the seal where the shaft goes in, mine was bad and was leaking fluid, i just changed it today- the leak stopped
