(TRS) Drive oil puking from vent...?

I have an old(er) TRS drive that has an internal reservoir (inside transom...where the dipstick is located). Oil has remained at a consistent level ever since I re-filled the drive last season.<br /><br />Now, all of a sudden, when I "get on it", the drive starts puking oil out of the vent at the top of the reservoir. Not alot, but enough to make a mess (and a stink)...a few tablespoons.<br /><br />I thought perhaps a water intrusion could be causing the oil to be displaced, but there is no indication on the dipstick of water in the oil. Perfectly clear oil. <br /><br />Any ideas?
