Fluid level was fine but looked brown instead of red so I decided to a fluid/filter change. There was some metal chunks in the bottom of the pan and everything was covered with a black like film. I am hoping the drain valve was just gummed up, allowing the torque converter fluid to drain out overnight, since it would only happen in the morning. That combined with a dirty filter and fluid, maybe its fixed. Kinda concerned with the metal chunks though!?!
