Default Automatic transmission bursting oil

Hello,
few days ago, i change oil in transmission .
Fill with new one And let it be .
today , i was driving on highway abd gearbox fault pop on. Whole car from under is in gearbox oil .

Seems like i have there too much oil ? It was bursting from under batter cover , some cover with out put from gearbox ? I guess .
Yeah, i do it wrong way.

My question is, it will be okay ? Gearbox will burst just over limit oil or its possible bursting all oil out ?

thanks for any advice And sorry for my english . Writing on phone And Im bad in it .

relox, the fluid expands as it warms up and will fill the void in the transmission. I take it when you filled the transmission, you did not start the engine and run it through the gears. There is a plug on the side that you are supposed to fill to. If it is spitting out the top, that should be coming out of the vent. If so, then you should be fine other than needing to dump out a little more fluid to get it back to the proper level.

Thermo, I am wondering...: "There is a plug on the side that you are supposed to fill to. "
This confuses me. I know that you know pretty much everything about Jaguars, hence, please elaborate...
For all I know there is no "plug on the side" for the purpose of ATF level check... - that is, if the 2006 X-Type 3L is using the JF506E...
The ATF check level plug on JF506E is under the transmission. I personally do not trust that plug...
The plug (bolt) on the side is something else and unscrewing it would deactivate the reverse gear...

If however, the 2006 X-Type 3L is using the AWTF-80 SC, then I know nothing about that transmission...

Thanks for help.
I found some servis manual, where they using “overflow plug” or “level oil measurement” .
iIts under Transmission.
And my jag is Still one before facelift. So, JatCo ATF.

Should i just drain some oil from top or using guild And bolt from under Transmission ?

You cannot drain ATF from the top.
Either you open the big drain plug and drain everything, which wants to come out, and then either use the same old ATF (or new fluid) to fill in from the top again, or:
I have trust in the method of opening the check plug under the car, while the car is securely sitting on stands, straight and level with the engine running, and let it drip until it reaches the correct level (there is also this thing about going thru the gears, while you do all that). I myself have no confidence in this method, and I also cannot advise you, how to find the correct amount of ATF. I am experimenting with that myself.
