Hi,

If I'm reading you correctly, you have ATF spraying out of the transmission onto the ground? If so, this is definitely NOT normal and NOT OK.

There are several components which insert through the transmission case such as the Transmission Gear Position Switch, Coolant Changeover Valve, ATF Temperature Sensor, Input and Output Speed Sensors. It sounds as if one of these components and/or it's gasket has failed, did Dealer service any of these items? The timeframe involved makes that conspicuous.

It would be best to have the car towed to the Dealer for service. If you lose too much ATF and the car is run, you run a very high risk of destroying the Transmission. Keep us posted on what's happening. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

PS I'm curious why the Dealer would do a Fluid and Gasket change and not change the Filter. What was their reason for skipping this?
