I presume you´ve changed the fluid, and checked for water in the fluid?
Water will turn to steam at a much lower temp than the fluid will expand.
Besides the fact that if you have water in there, things will be getting
hot due to poor lubrication.

You shouldn´t have fluid getting forced out the breather tube at all.
