My 79 K5 blazer will get warm and blow ALL of its transmission fluid
out untill eventually it wont hold a gear. Its a 350 turbo automatic
tranny. It wont do it while sitting still and by the time it does it
such a mess that i cant tell where the fluid comes out at. And help
would be appreciated

Check your rad fan clutch. Your trans is overheating very bad very bad.
I had this happen on a five ton with a munci trans.
Didn't happen when I was driving straight into the wind but it did if I
was hitting a cross wind on a hot day.
It took four trans shops before I found one that figured it out.
