Well guys, the fluid level was low about a quart.

I don't think it went into limp mode as you could shut it off and restart it and everything worked correctly.

Unfortunately, both the conductor plate and the plug were aftermarket Ebay items.

Since I have topped off the transmission fluid, it has not occurred again, however, I am sure that the transmission plug is probably leaking again, it seems to be minor so it may buy me time.

I will insure that when I change it out to get an OEM.
