I'm in the process of swapping my t-5 for a c4. I just got the tranny back from the shop. Put it in the car, got everything bolted up, stuck the driveshaft in it along with the steeda spacer for the driveshaft which is needed for the swap. I filled up the tranny with 5 quarts of fluid and the fluid just came running out the back. I think I'm missing a seal in the tailshaft because all I can see is some sort of metal sleeve at the end of the output shaft. I can see all the way into the transmission.... Is this normal or did the shop miss a seal? The pics are from the output shaft into the tranny.

I'd say you are missing the output shaft seal
