Was the fluid level correct? It sounds to me like it is low and when it spins faster, it is sucking air. I don't think the air pressure is something to worry about. To bleed air out of the system, just leave the car idling and turn the wheel slowly from one end to the other a few times. Re-check level after. Note the FULL COLD and FULL HOT marks on the dip. The fluid is essentially ATF so it expands when hot.

I cleaned the reservoir, after driving for a while i noticed that is leaking to the outside to my understanding because of the pressure being build is forcing oil out of the reservoir!?!

GM sells an adapter for the Mityvac. It goes in place of the cap. You pull a vacuum and wait a while. It will remove the air. The best way on modern vehicles. The only way when they also have hydro boost brakes. I think Mityvac makes the adapters to. Mine is the Kent Moore GM tool.
