I was just gonna mention the same thing...also, make sure that you check it at the same temp as the last time. The level will rise as the vehicle heats up and the fluid expands. The trans temps may have been warmer the first time you checked it.

I always check on a good level surface. The level wasn't low enough to cause damage, but enough to annoy me. I usually check after the car has been running for a while. The ambient outside temperature was around 65 and it was raining, so it may have cooled the drive train quicker than I expected, especially with an external cooler.

I checked again and the level was where it should be. I guess I was going nuts.
