to close the loop, even though mine was still weeping from all 3 places, that were replaced 3 years ago with oem parts, the fluid level was actually not very low. I believe the car ended up needing less than half qt of fluid. I now suspect the transmission error codes were caused by starvation during high-g shifting rather than low fluid level.

You could also just break the pick up tube. I avoided a pot hole but managed to drive right over its contents up the road. The concrete debris bounced off my cars underside a few times as I passed over. One of these impacts hit the trans pan which is plastic. Crack in the pan and a broken fluid pickup. The pickup is the only white plastic piece in the dirty picture. It has been removed in the clean picture. It's a $40 part if I recall. It caused weird shifting almost immediately after the impacts stoped. New pickup, new pan, pentosin unicorn fluid and a few hours......all better!
