Spraying from where? It could be something minor. At least until you drive it with it low on fluid.

Do you have oversized tires with 3.73 gears? If so it can be very hard on tranny at times. I siggest you add a aux tranny cooler because you are likely slow cooking it.

Well I would like to say that it is not generic. My '99 V10 has 100K miles and I pull a 14K lb 5th wheel. Nothing has ever required the truck to be in the shop. The tranny works hard not only with the 5th wheel, but I live in the mountains and it is always in lower gears up and down hill.

What axle ratio are you running now, a 3.73? Aslo you you have a aux tranny cooler. Bad converters are usually the result of a hot eunning tranny.

You bought an extended warranty, regardless of what manufacturer you need to read the fine print, FoMoCo, GM, Toyota, and Honda as well as "aftermarket" all offer different extended warranties and some of them(warranties that is) will tell you reman or new is up to their choice. The "aftermarket" or "independent " companies I always hated dealing with. worse than a HMO.
