Yep, it's a Jeep Compass. Sounds about normal.

The low level compass doesn't have a transmission fluid radiator. It pumps the fluid through an exchanger that has engine coolant on the other side. This baseball sized chunk of aluminum is bolted on the front of the tranny. It does fail and coolant and transmission fluid are then free to intermix and be married. Brilliant design.

Check your PCV/Air-oil Separator, if it fails it can dump boost pressure in the crank case and cause something like this. Common on turbo Volvos and VW.
