Spit it from where? You need to look for where it's leaking from. It might just be an easy to replace $10 gasket or a hole in the pan. The cooling lines going to the radiator might have come loose. Another easy fix. Some transmission shops will take a quick look without making you wait three weeks.

A number of things could be your problem! As somebody else mentioned it could be in the transmission oil cooler lines or the cooler itself. It is inside the radiator,- If it is , ( this only applies if the radiator isn't leaking water,- I would buy an 'add -n " radaitor for oil cooler".) Since the add-on is cheaper than a new radiator! When they are in the radiator , the little lines like to break off if there is much stress on lines (they make the lines without any "slack" in them . You also want to check the front motor mount, as when they are bad,- the engine "rises up" in front on sharp acceleration, this is not only hard on transmission cooler lines, but a bunch of other stuff too! You say it is "spittng" oil everywhere, so I assume you mean under the hood area. you could also have front seal on the transmission leaking, - but then most of the oil would be running out underneath the rear of engine area,-(where the engine and the transmission are bolted .together!)
If it leaks that bad, you should be able to see it squirting out of the lines from the transmission (with engine running and car in "park"), - they are only about 2 feet long. My Neon is a standard, so I can't look and see where the lines hook to the end radiator pan, - but I asssume it is on drivers side of the radiator (as that is closest to the transmission). it is probably down behind the battery so it will be harder to see!
NOTE: This model transmission is not known for weakness in transmission casting, but it is not all that hard to knock a hole in the bottom of the "oil pan" on the transmission,-- as it is made of pressed tin. This is a"bolt on" item, and can be replaced or repaired (probably by brazing edges of tear or crack) - when off transmission! If you don't continue to drive it till you burn out the clutches, - you shouldnb't have to worry about replacing the transmission itself!

there are lines which go from the transmission to the radiator. they have a lot of pressure. sounds like you have one of these broke. locate the lines on the radiator...they will be coming out of the radiator on the drivers side and go toward the transmission. Check these...sounds like your problem.
IF not these...then the drive axles may have a seal out on them....but from what you describe it sounds like the lines to me.

Bad seal or crack. Seal may be easy and fairly inexpensive, crack is a really really bad thing, need new tranny.

I don't know what to make of this for that particular model and brand, but it sounds to me like you desperately need a new radiator.

blown tranny line..........................check if you have a bad motor mount that may be the ultimate cause.
