A fellow VCCA member who does not have access asks the following: Is a Tech notice available or will someone explain what is happening when a PG, 1957 is first started up, moved short \distance and shut off.. Trans oil comes out the filer tube. Thanks for replies.

The internal air passage valve is probably stopped up or a little slow.
When the car has sat for a long time the fluid drains back out of the converter due to bad seals and design. When started and driven the transmission must refill the torque converter which now has some air in it. If the trip is very short, all the air is not purged and is compressed. If parked prior to the completion of the purge it blows the flud back into the pan and in some cases out the filler. This action is typical for all the very early PG's
