Tranny leak question

[2bits]

I have never seen this before but I took my 250/400 out for it's first street drive and it ran great but when I got it back to the house, the firewall was covered in tranny fluid and it was dripping down the outside of the dipstick and all over the tranny. If I got the lines backward would it do this? It shifts perfect, and I know I am not too full on fluid, should be about 1 pint low actually. I have the top connection on the radiator going to the top connection on the tranny and bottom to bottom. Is that right for a 400?

I guess it could be shooting up from where the dipstick goes into the tranny but it would have to be spraying to do that to get that high and the back spark plug cable it totally dry. The tranny line itself could be leaking... there is a metal connector in the middle of one line but I made sure to tighten it, but the O ring might be bad... It just looks like it is coming from the dipstick, is this even possible? If that never happens, I'll just replace the lines, it has rubber sections in it up near the radiator anyway, so they weren't going to be on long anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone had ever heard of that kind of freakyness before.
