I have not had enough free time to open the darn thing up, but I wonder if anyone knows exactly what I need to do so I might expedite this repair in an efficient and proper manner. I see a repair kit and gasket from Fastlane in my future...

The vacuum diaphragm might be torn. If so, then fix it SOON, because you can pump oil all throughout your vacuum system and make a BIG mess, which is a BIG pain in the a$$ to fix. Also, driving it without proper vacuum going to the transmission is BAD for the transmission.
